Everton considers £44m striker as injury concerns mount

Summary

Everton is evaluating the possibility of signing Palmeiras striker Vitor Roque for £44m as they aim for European football under David Moyes. Currently, the team has limited striker options following the sale of Beto and the injury of Thierno Barry, who has been pivotal with four league goals this season. While Roque's potential could enhance Everton's forward line, his recent performance struggles post-injury raise concerns. Everton won 1-0 in their latest league match and a 3-1 Carabao Cup victory over Newcastle has bolstered confidence as they sit in seventh place in the league.
