Everton enquire about Como star Assane Diao | OneFootball

Everton are reportedly keen on Como attacker Assane Diao and have enquired about signing him.

Manager David Moyes has been trying to sign a forward all summer. Everton recently signed Brennan Johnson, but Moyes wants more options.

The 20-year-old Senegal international was at the World Cup with his country, making one appearance.

The Everton target played 17 Serie A games last term, weighing in with two goals and one assist.

Diao notched eight goals and one assist in 15 Serie A games in 2024-25, and he could be perfect for the Merseyside club.

The youngster boasts huge potential, and Moyes loves working with players he can develop.

Diao wants to a club where he is guaranteed regular playing opportunities if he leaves Como.

Everton have been unable to get a deal for Manchester City attacker Jack Grealish over the line and are looking at other options.

Diao can aplay in midfield, but he has excelled on the wings in recent seasons.

He boasts a powerful technique and strong heading ability, and he has what it takes to hit the ground running in the Premier League.
