Everton targets midfield and attacking reinforcements for January

Everton is exploring several transfer options to bolster its squad during the January window. The club is reportedly tracking Real Sociedad striker Orri Oskarsson to address a shortage of attacking depth. Following the summer departure of Beto to Fiorentina and failed attempts to sign Folarin Balogun and Joshua Zirkzee, the club has relied heavily on Thierno Barry as its primary recognized striker.

In midfield, former Scotland manager Gordon Strachan has suggested that Rangers midfielder Nicolas Raskin would be a suitable fit for the Premier League, specifically naming Everton as a potential destination. Raskin, a 25-year-old Belgian international, remains at Rangers but faces uncertainty as his contract nears its final year.

These potential moves come amid ongoing uncertainty regarding the club's ownership, as The Friedkin Group has put Everton up for sale. This situation may influence how aggressively manager David Moyes pursues new signings following significant summer investments in players such as Brennan Johnson, Merlin Röhl, and Tyrique George.
