Everton is considering Charly Alcaraz for the center-forward role during the international break. The decision comes amid concerns for their striker options, as Thierno Barry remains the only outright choice following a failed transfer for Folarin Balogun. Alcaraz has filled this position sporadically but has not played it regularly. As Everton prepares for a behind-closed-doors friendly against Blackburn, manager David Moyes will assess Alcaraz’s suitability, particularly how he might adapt to a different playing style that emphasizes transition.
- •Everton lacks options at striker with only Thierno Barry available.
- •Alcaraz has experience but is not a traditional center-forward.
- •A friendly against Blackburn will allow for tactical experimentation.
- •Moyes faces pressure to find a sustainable solution for the forward position.
