  • Everton will look to boost their attacking options in the summer window.
  • The Toffees have been linked with several strikers.
  • David Moyes has the chance to purchase a Premier League forward.

Everton have been linked with multiple strikers as the summer transfer window approaches.

Thierno Barry and Beto are the Blues’ current striking options, who in recent weeks have made strong cases to silence their critics.

Yet both have struggled to maintain any consistency in the season, and a third striker may be added to heighten competition in the squad.

The Toffees will probably not break the bank for a new forward, and may look at cheaper options such as this Premier League talent.

Everton are in a good position to move for Zian Flemming

Zian Flemming has been one of Burnley’s bright sparks in a season that has seen them crash back down to the Championship.

The Dutchman, however, wants to preserve his status as a Premier League player, and his representatives have offered his services to Everton, according to Ekrem Konur.

After bouncing back to the top flight, the Clarets struggled to keep up with the pace of the first tier, with only a handful of their squad showing their quality.

Flemming is one of these players, as demonstrated by the fact that he has scored 27% of his side’s goals in the Premier League this season.

After spending three seasons in the Championship, this is the first year the striker has competed in England’s premier division, and he has made a strong case that he deserves to play at this level.

Is Zian Flemming the quality Everton are looking for?

Evertonians may question whether Flemming is the calibre of player the club should be looking for, considering he is a member of a team that struggled to make any moves in the Premier League.

But the fact that he has managed to register double figures in terms of goals, in a side that has created very little this season, goes to show the clinical nature of his game.

Another selling point of the Dutchman is the ease with which a deal for him could be completed.

Burnley will want to get his wages off their books, and the striker believes he should be playing in the Premier League, which means a move for the 27-year-old could go relatively smoothly.

Everton know they shall have to spend wisely in the next transfer window, and bargain prices such as Flemming’s cannot go overlooked.
