David Moyes is ready to enter the January transfer market to find a striker who can make his team a stronger force in the Premier League. Midtjylland striker Franculino Dju is a major target for the Everton manager. Dju has scored 13 goals in 13 games in the Danish Superliga and has attracted the attention of a number of clubs, including Serie A side Bologna, who are keen to bring him to the Italian league.
Moyes has told the club's board that he is not ready to give up on strikers Beto and Thierno Barry, but he is seriously considering letting go of Barry, who cost £27m from Villarreal in the summer. He has failed to score in 12 games and missed a good chance in the 1-1 draw with Sunderland. This could pave the way for his departure from the club.
Beto, 27, is also struggling, failing to score in his last eight games. Moyes has stressed that the club need more goals and is ready to explore new opportunities in the January transfer window to improve the team's performance.
After a positive start to the season, Everton have managed just one point and one goal in their last three games. Moyes is optimistic that with the help of new owners, the club will be able to strengthen the squad and restore confidence in its strikers. Although the team is currently well clear of the relegation zone, Everton have endured a number of difficult seasons in recent years, and manager Moyes wants to be prepared.
