David Moyes will search the striker market once more this winter after Folarin Balogun's proposed move to the Blues fell through, which has left Thierno Barry as the only senior number nine at the club.

Richarlison 'will leave' Tottenham in January after Everton attempt
Richarlison has approached FIFA over helping him terminate his Spurs deal with just cause, with his argument claiming that the club are preventing him from practising his profession after he was left off their 25-man squad.
With Richarlison set to leave in January, Everton would still have to pay money for his signature, though they may not need to cough up as much as initially expected.
