Everton continue to shape their transfer plans ahead of the new Premier League campaign, with the club exploring several attacking targets as they look to strengthen David Moyes’ squad.
The Toffees have already been credited with an interest in West Ham United captain Jarrod Bowen as they search for proven Premier League quality in the final third. Since joining the Hammers in 2020, Bowen has established himself as one of the division’s most reliable attackers outside the traditional top-six clubs, consistently producing double-digit goal involvements each season.
Everton are also keeping a close eye on Middlesbrough midfielder Hayden Hackney after his outstanding Championship campaign. The highly-rated playmaker impressed with his passing range, composure on the ball and ability to dictate the tempo of matches, attracting interest from several Premier League sides.
The Merseyside club previously saw an approach for the 24-year-old Championship Player of the Season turned down, but a future bid has not been ruled out as they continue to monitor his situation.
While Everton remain active in their pursuit of midfield and attacking reinforcements, attention has now shifted to another exciting option with experience across Europe’s top leagues.
According to journalist Rudy Galetti, Everton have made enquiries over Marseille forward Timothy Weah.
Everton enquire about Timothy Weah
Galetti claims Marseille view the United States international as an important figure in their long-term plans. However, the French club could be willing to negotiate if they receive a substantial offer.
The son of Ballon d’Or winner George Weah, Timothy has enjoyed a career spanning several of Europe’s biggest leagues. After progressing through Paris Saint-Germain’s academy, he gained senior experience in France before enjoying a productive loan spell with Celtic.
During his time in Scotland, Weah showcased his versatility by operating across the forward line, scoring four goals and providing one assist while impressing in both domestic and European competitions. His pace, direct running and attacking flexibility quickly established him as one of Celtic’s most exciting young talents.
The American international later secured moves to Lille and Juventus before joining Marseille, where he has continued to compete at the highest level of French football.
Pelé’s praise after Weah’s World Cup moment
Weah has also become a key player for the United States, earning more than 50 international appearances.
One of the standout moments of his international career came at the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar, where he opened the scoring against Wales in the group stage. His composed finish after a perfectly timed run behind the defence earned widespread admiration.
Brazilian legend Pelé, who sadly passed away later that year, was among those to praise the strike, reportedly describing it as one of the tournament’s standout moments. Weah’s goal helped launch an impressive group-stage campaign for the USA, with the forward playing a vital role throughout the competition.
Everton’s interest in the energetic and aggressive attacker reflects David Moyes’ desire to inject greater pace, versatility and directness into his frontline as preparations continue for the new season.
