Blues eyed Toney but new move uncertain

WITH FORWARDS MISFIRING SHOULD EVERTON TURN TO IVAN?

- By CHRIS BEESLEY ECHO Reporter

EVERTON are being linked with a sensational January transfer swoop for Ivan Toney as manager David Moyes looks to cure his team’s striker woes.

Current frontmen Beto and Thierno Barry, a £27million summer signing from Villarreal have netted just once in the Premier League so far this season - a header from the latter at Wolverhampton Wanderers on August 30 - and in their most recent match, a 2-0 defeat at Manchester City last Saturday, Beto missed two big opportunities to open the scoring before Erling Haaland put Pep Guardiola’s side in front with his first shot of the match.
