Everton evaluates free agent striker Anthony Martial for transfer move
Summary

Everton manager David Moyes confirmed the club is considering options in the free agent market to bolster its attacking options. This follows a summer transfer window where the club sold Beto without securing a replacement and failed to finalize a deal for Joshua Zirkzee. Anthony Martial is currently a free agent after parting ways with the Mexican club C.F. Monterrey in June. The former Manchester United forward has struggled to find consistency since leaving England in 2024, recording limited goal returns during stints with AEK Athens and Monterrey. With only Thierno Barry remaining as a senior natural striker in the Everton squad, the club faces a personnel shortage at the position. Moyes stated that the team remains committed to challenging at the top end of the table, and the addition of a veteran like Martial could provide necessary depth for the remainder of the season.
