After Romelu Lukaku’s injury against Liverpool, Everton is in search of a striker to bolster their attacking lineup. With the Belgian international sidelined due to an ankle injury, Everton could be without him for several weeks.
The Toffees are eager to secure a signing before the end of the transfer window, and coach Roberto Martinez has turned his attention to Bafétimbi Gomis, the center forward from Lyon. Gomis, whose contract expires next June, is highly sought after in the Premier League.
The former Saint-Etienne player has netted 8 goals in Ligue 1 this season, showcasing his scoring prowess. However, whether Michel Aulas, the president of Lyon, will agree to let him leave remains uncertain.
Gomis and Aulas were involved in a standoff during the previous transfer window, sparked by Gomis’ desire to move to Newcastle. It remains to be seen if Everton can secure the services of the talented striker amidst negotiations with Lyon.
