Everton transfer update as enquiry made to sign Sheffield United striker Daniel Jebbison
Everton have already made an enquiry into the availability of Sheffield United striker Daniel Jebbison in this window, according to the Liverpool Echo.
The Merseyside-based news outlet reported on 27 July that the Toffees had made their interest known early this summer.
They have been credited as one among a number of clubs keen on signing the Canada-born 20-year-old centre-forward.
Worth considering?
In May 2021, Jebbison broke the Premier League record for being the youngest ever player to score on his full debut.
Ironically, that goal came against Everton, who are now keen on signing them to find the back of the net for their side.
However, last season, even in the Championship, his goal-scoring record was highly unimpressive and there’s no reason the Toffees would want him as an immediate starter.
He bagged just one league goal from 16 appearances which is not good at all given the level of England’s second tier.
Now he’s back in the Premier League as Sheffield United got promoted and they’re unlikely to let him leave on the cheap.
Thus, it makes no sense for the Toffees to continue this pursuit and they need to look at options that’ll prove to be upgrades on Dominic Calvert-Lewin.

JUST IN : Everton has agreed to sign target for just £8m as director opens door to move
EVERTON CAN SIGN TARGET FOR JUST £8M AS DIRECTOR OPENS DOOR TO MOVE
Everton target Rogerio will be allowed to leave Serie A outfit Sassuolo this summer with a move to the Premier League on the cards for the attack-minded left-back.
That is according to Giovanni Carnevali; Sassuolo’s typically-outspoken CEO.
Rogerio, Carnevali points out in discussion with Gazzetta dello Sport, is out of contract in the summer of 2024. And unless he extends his stay at the Mapei Stadium, Sassuolo will look to cash in now before the former Juventus defender is allowed to leave for absolutely nothing.
This should be music to Everton ears (Tuttomercatoweb).
The Toffees need a left-back with Vitaliy Mykolenko currently the only one at Sean Dyche’s disposal. Sassuolo appear willing to accept offers in the region of £7 million too, a move to Spartak Moscow falling through not because of Sassuolo’s demands but because of political reasons.
Everton could bring in Rogerio from Sassuolo
“His agent carried out the negotiation (with Spartak). There was a very important offer equal to 8 million euros. And, considering everything, we decided not to proceed (for) ethical reasons,” Carnevali explains; talks with Rogerio going the same way as with Tottenham’s Davinson Sanchez.
“We did not want to deal with the Russians.”
Everton, however, should be a different story. Dyche is the latest Toffees manager hoping to build a squad on a limited budget, and Rogerio’s availability for less than £10 million should place the 25-year-old Brazilian within Everton’s reach.
“(Rejecting Spartak Moscow’s offer does not mean) that Rogerio is no longer on the market,” Carnevali adds. “It was a choice of a different nature.
“If offers from other clubs arrive, we will evaluate them.”
Everton are also hoping to bring a new striker to Goodison Park, following the long-awaited acquisition of Villarreal loanee Arnaut Danjuma.
The Toffees agreed a £23 million fee with Almeria for El Bilal Toure over the weekend. But, according to i News, there is a belief at Goodison that Toure will opt to replace Rasmus Hojlund at Atalanta instead.

Everton continue to pursue transfers for Willy Gnonto and Brian Brobbey this summer
Everton are continuing their pursuit of new forwards this summer, with Leeds winger Willy Gnonto and Ajax striker Brian Brobbey named as targets, according to BBC Sport.
The news giants reported on 26 July, amid an interview with Everton defender Michael Keane, that the club were continuing to pursue moves for these two players, despite suggestions that Brobbey had made his intentions clear to stay at Ajax, which would put Everton off of a move.
These moves could happen on top of the completed deal for Arnaut Danjuma, with the Merseyside club not letting their heads drop despite multiple transfer rejections this summer, most recently from Almeria striker El Bilal Toure.
Keep moving (for) forwards
Everton will continue to press ahead with several targets being evaluated for moves to Goodison Park, despite continued rejection from targets this summer, as the club aim to strengthen in forward areas ahead of the new Premier League season.
Leeds’ Italian forward Gnonto has been named as a priority target for the Toffees this summer, and with each new report comes fresh optimism that this deal can be made after Leeds were relegated to the Championship last season.
It is clear where Everton and Sean Dyche feel their squad needs strengthening if they want to avoid yet another relegation battle, with their miserable tally of 34 goals from 38 games the second-worst in the league behind only Wolverhampton Wanderers.
With Dominic Calvert-Lewin’s terrible injury record and Neal Maupay’s profligacy in front of goal, Everton are trying to ensure their new striker will be reliable when it comes to finding the net. The current striker duo managed just three goals between them last season.
In other Everton news, a midfielder has been given the green light to exit the club this summer.

Almeria striker El Bilal Toure set to jet in as decision made over Atalanta and Everton
Almeria striker El Bilal Toure is set to jet into Italy in the next 48 hours as he will join Atalanta over Everton, according to Gazzetta Dello Sport.
The Italian newspaper claims [26 July, Page 20] that the 21-year-old will be moving to the Serie A outfit for £25.7million.
The Toffees, who appeared to be neck in neck in the race to sign the Mali international, have now lost out and will need to look at other options.
This one seemed difficult to happen in the first place as Atalanta certainly were the favourites to secure his services.
Unless Toure was desperate to play in the Premier League, the Serie A side looked to be in the driver’s seat as they can offer him European football.
Everton, on the other hand, have fought relegation battles two seasons in a row and do not have the financial pull to offer him higher wages than the market would.
The Toffees and Sean Dyche surely will have a plan in mind and may have lined up alternatives in case the Toure deal does not work out.
It remains to be seen whether or not they now look to prioritise a move for Leeds United attacker Wilfried Gnonto.
The Italy international can play as a striker as well and with Arnaut Danjuma signed, the Toffees and Dyche perhaps see him leading the line if they do sign him.

BLUES JOIN STOKE, SHEFF WED, AND PRESTON IN RACE TO SIGN EVERTON FORWARD
Birmingham City have joined the race to sign Everton striker Tom Cannon on loan, according to journalist Alan Nixon.
The report also reveals Stoke City have also joined the race for him with Preston hoping to acquire his services once again after his loan spell.
The Republic Of Ireland international is one of the most sought after strikers in the Championship this season with a whole heap of clubs interested.
Cannon can leave for a season once Sean Dyche has found more cover in the frontline areas and they believe him will improve even more following his short stint with Preston.
Blues have been understood to have made contact with The Toffees for his services and could even offer a loan to buy arrangement.
Stoke appear to have the cash to also make a similar agreement but they are looking for multiple forwards.
The 20-year-old is no stranger to Championship football having scored 8 goals in 20 appearances for The Lilywhites last term.
He has showed how quickly a young player can rise through the ranks as he went from playing under-21’s football with Everton to regular Championship football after just three cameo appearances for the Toffees.
Another loan move for Cannon has been somewhat expected this summer, but matters have been complicated by the fact that Everton manager Sean Dyche has wanted to take a look at the youngster in pre-season.
Cannon took to the pitch against Stade Nyonnais of Switzerland but missed the most recent set of friendlies with a hamstring injury – his future though continues to get speculated on.
