Everton have been linked with a surprise move to sign Russian striker Artem Dzyuba.
According to reports, Everton were among three Premier League teams to cast an eye over the player during the international break.
Wolves and Crystal Palace were also said to be in the running, but judging by these reactions on social media, these Everton fans want nothing to do with the rumour.

These Everton supporters have made it pretty clear that they do not want the club to be pursuing a deal to sign Dzyuba anytime soon.
When the rumour first surfaced it was one that made little sense and given the direction that Everton as a club are looking to go, it simply doesn’t add up.
After signing Moise Kean over the summer, bringing in a player like Dzyuba, who wouldn’t be the cheapest in terms of a fee or wages, doesn’t seem necessary.
The one argument you could make is for him to be a talismanic figure in the squad, but if that is the reasoning behind the links, there must surely be better and cheaper options available to the club.
