Everton Matches Unwanted Premier League Record
Everton has matched an unwanted Premier League record by failing to score in 14 games this season. The Toffees share this record with Leicester City, who will be relegated to the Championship next season.
Since David Moyes took over in January, Everton has picked up the seventh-most points in the division. Moyes has shifted away from Sean Dyche’s pragmatic approach, giving players like Beto and Iliman Ndiaye a new lease on life. However, the team still struggles in front of goal, with three games without scoring under Moyes’ management.
The lack of goalscoring prowess has highlighted the need for attacking reinforcements in the summer transfer window. Everton is reportedly eyeing Ipswich Town’s Liam Delap, who has a £30m release clause in his contract. West Bromwich Albion’s Tom Fellows, who has laid on 13 assists in the Championship, is another target for Moyes.
With a busy summer window ahead, Everton will look to strengthen their squad and address their goal-scoring issues. The Friedkin Group is reportedly prepared to give Moyes a healthy budget to make signings and improve the team’s fortunes.
