Transfer rumour roundup: Everton ramp up striker hunt, Atletico target Wolves’ Gomes

There will be relief amongEverton fans that the club finally seem to be listening to pleas for reinforcements. David Moyes wants to swell his threadbare squad with the signing of a striker, as Beto and Thierno Barry continue to flatter to deceive.

Top of the wish-list is Fenerbahce forwardYoussef En-Nesyri, with Fabrizio Romano reporting an initial loan-with-option-to-buy bid has been sent. However, Nottingham Forest are also admirers, report Sky Sports, for the goal-getter currently contributing to Morocco's bid for AFCON success.

ShouldEverton's interest fail, The Athletic say Callum Wilson could represent a cost-effective alternative. Wilson is unwanted at West Ham after just six months in the capital.

Bournemouth have banked big bucks in recent transfer windows, and Alex Scott could be the latest to earn the Cherries some serious coin. TEAMtalk say four-team chase for the 22-year-old is underway, featuring both Manchester clubs, Newcastle and Aston Villa.

Wolves may also soon find themselves on the receiving end of a windfall. Vultures are circling the near-lifeless carcass of Rob Edwards' squad, who seem destined for relegation.

Alongside interest in Jorgen Strand Larsen, Joao Gomes is a potential exit. Various outlets claim Atletico Madrid, armed with cash from Conor Gallagher's sale, like the 24-year-old.

Wolves could reinvest some of that money into Basel striker Philip Otele, says journalist Ben Jacobs, though moves to Celtic, Lazio or Bournemouth could appeal more than a relegation scrap at Molineux.

Lastly,Chelsea's hijacking of Leeds' bid for Facundo Buonanotte in the summer looks to have been, well, pointless. After just 46 minutes of Premier League football, Chelsea are set to cut short his loan from Brighton
