Everton are in need of reinforcements this window.
Despite Sunday’s victory against Tottenham Hotspur, David Moyes was quick to demand signings in his post-match press conference.
The Scotsman is well aware that the squad is lacking attacking quality and so he is looking at signing a winger this month.
Galatasaray’s Baris Alper Yilmaz has been linked to Goodison Park after his sensational start to the season in Turkey.
Meanwhile, Everton’s deal to sign Ernest Nuamah is now on hold, so there are a lot of moving parts going on at the moment.
Everton fans have their own ideas on who they should sign and have urged the Friedkin Group to sign a Premier League attacker.
Everton fans want Richarlison back
Everton fans took to X (formerly known as Twitter) after the Spurs clash and urged the club to resign Richarlison, who netted on his return.
“Sad thing is Richarlison is exactly the player Moyes would love gives it absolutely everything every time he put the blue jersey on for us lives and breathes us. Would love us bring him back,” @jimmytheblue88 explained.

“Richarlison wants to come back so badly la he’s crying out for a transfer back here him, bring him home,” @M1878D_ said.
@Nath_1878 posted: “Take another PSR hit to bring Richarlison home. Evident he wants to come back. Loved the club and I bet he was buzzing we won today.”
@JayMagee6 added: “Richarlison slapping his chest and pointing to the Gwladys as well I don’t care, bring him home.”
“I’ve never longed for a specific player to come back before, but Richarlison hasn’t really left. Come on, let’s sort this out,” @SeanC_PT said.
“I miss Richarlison. I want him back so much and I honestly believe he would jump at the chance to come back,” @TheEvertonFan1 commented.
Richarlison price tag will be problematic
Richarlison left Everton in a £60m deal in 2022, so quite clearly, bringing him back to Goodison Park will require substantial finances.
Of course, his value has reduced since then considering his Spurs career hasn’t gone according to plan, but a £45m price tag has still been mooted for Richarlison.
Given the position Everton are in, with PSR issues still looming, it’s unlikely the Friedkin’s can sanction that deal.
Spurs would likely have to reduce their asking price by £10-15m, which isn’t realistic given Daniel Levy’s reputation.
So a lot would have to give to resign Richarlison.
