Everton targets Strasbourg defender Guela Doue amid valuation concerns

Everton is pursuing Strasbourg defender Guela Doue as part of their push for a new right-back, with the player currently participating in the FIFA World Cup. However, Doue's £40 million price tag poses a significant challenge for the club. Everton has identified several alternatives, such as Djed Spence and Aaron Wan-Bissaka, as they seek to improve from last season's 13th-place finish in the Premier League. Manager David Moyes emphasizes the need for a right-back who can provide width and attacking options following Seamus Coleman's departure. The club is considering a potential offer to lower Doue's asking price.
