Everton Target £25m Dutch Striker Already in London
Everton are reportedly attempting to swoop in and sign Ajax striker Brian Brobbey, who is already in London amid transfer speculation. The Toffees are hoping to beat West Ham to the 22-year-old Dutch forward’s signature in a deal worth around £25 million plus add-ons.
With Dominic Calvert-Lewin’s contract expiring this summer, Everton are in need of reinforcements up front. Brobbey could be an ideal replacement and potential upgrade, having scored 22 goals with 12 assists for Ajax last season.
The young striker has been praised as “prolific” by talent scouts and is also reportedly attracting interest from Tottenham. If Everton can win the race for his signature, it would be an impressive coup to kick off their transfer business under new ownership.
At just £25 million, Brobbey represents an exciting gamble on a player who could help lift Everton away from relegation trouble this season and beyond. His goalscoring record suggests he could be the clinical finisher the Toffees have been lacking.
With West Ham yet to finalize a deal, Everton have an opportunity to swoop in and bring the Dutch talent to Goodison Park. It would be a statement of intent from the club’s new regime as they look to climb the Premier League table.
