Everton considers signing striker Conrad Harder amid transfer challenges
Summary

Everton is exploring potential acquisitions for a striker as they navigate a difficult start to the 2026/27 season under manager David Moyes. Following the departure of Beto and the collapse of a £40m deal for Folarin Balogun, only Thierno Barry remains as a senior forward. The club is now looking at Conrad Harder, a 21-year-old Danish striker on loan at Strasbourg from RB Leipzig. Harder’s profile suggests he could be a long-term solution, though his current commitments complicate an immediate transfer. Moyes faces a significant decision on whether to go for Harder or opt for an experienced option like Mauro Icardi, whose arrival could provide immediate goal-scoring support.
