With Dominic Calvert-Lewin facing an uncertain future at Goodison Park, another striker could well be on the agenda for Everton manager Sean Dyche this summer.
Newcastle United is apparently interested in the Englishman, but they are hesitant to pay the Toffees’ asking price.
Strong-willed talkSPORT analyst Simon Jordan has stated that Everton had to make every effort to let go of the 27-year-old.
Eddie Howe reportedly needs to investigate into moving players on to conform with PSR laws before the deal can happen.
It seems like Everton is preparing for every scenario, and they are making progress toward their long-term goal of Iliman Ndiaye. According to reports, the former Sheffield United player is getting closer to moving to Goodison Park.
The Toffees’ pursuit of a striker, though, is unabated. Maximilian Beier on Everton’s radar
Hoffenheim striker Maximilian Beier is now reportedly on the club’s radar.
That’s according to German journalist Christian Falk, who has shared the latest on the 21-year-old’s future.
He explained [via Caughtoffside]: “Chelsea FC is interested in German international Maximilian Beier from Hoffenheim. However, the player is not yet convinced about the change,”
“It is not the first club from England to be interested in Beier. Liverpool FC, Everton, Burnley and Brentford also always had him on the list.”
Beier is currently representing the German national team at Euro 2024, and Falk has previously claimed he resembles Bayern Munich legend Thomas Muller.
“He can play on the flanks as well as centrally; he’s done it already. It’s a little bit like Thomas Muller in the sense that he’s not exactly a winger or central striker; he can also play behind the No.9, so he’s quite a versatile footballer,” Falk said in December 2023.
It’s believed Beier has a release clause of £27.5million, which could tempt Premier League clubs.
Maximilian Beier Bundesliga record
Beier was a standout performer for Hoffenheim last season, netting 16 goals in 35 appearances.
The 21-year-old was previously on the books of Hannover 96, where he netted 15 times over two seasons.
Now capped by Germany, the youngster clearly has something special about him and could be a smart pick-up for a Premier League club.
When assessing Everton’s chances, this move is probably unlikely, considering the number of interested parties.
It’s certainly encouraging to see the Blues linked with an exciting European talent, but this isn’t one Evertonians should get too excited about.
