Everton, desperate for creativity amid a challenging Premier League season, has been offered a chance to sign veteran winger Willian, who recently left Olympiacos. The Brazilian's vast Premier League experience could make him an appealing option for David Moyes' struggling side. Meanwhile, West Ham, led by Graham Potter, is assessing multiple striker options, including André Silva from RB Leipzig, Taiwo Awoniyi from Nottingham Forest, and Evan Ferguson from Brighton, to address their forward shortages caused by injuries.
- Everton's Interest in Willian:
- Willian, a free agent after leaving Olympiacos, is keen to return to the Premier League.
- Everton faces offensive struggles, failing to score in nine of their past 11 league games.
- The club also considered other creative options, including Lyon’s Ernest Nuamah and Jaden Philogene.
- West Ham’s Forward Search:
- André Silva, who has a solid record at Leipzig, is a top loan target for West Ham.
- The club is also in talks with Nottingham Forest for Taiwo Awoniyi and assessing Brighton’s Evan Ferguson.
- Injuries to Michail Antonio and Niclas Füllkrug have left West Ham with limited attacking options.
- Financial Constraints:
- Everton's limited budget complicates moves, including potential recall of Chelsea loanee Armando Broja.
- West Ham prioritizes loan deals over permanent transfers to address their immediate needs.
