TBR Football understand Everton are readying a move to sign Emanuel Emegha from Strasbourg.
David Moyes has breathed new life into the Toffees ever since replacing Sean Dyche in January, guiding Everton to four wins and five draws in ten Premier League outings so far.
This resurgence has seen the Merseysiders move well clear of the relegation zone, sitting comfortably in 15th place at the time of writing.

However, Everton will hope to kick on under Moyes next season with the addition of some new talent – and the Toffees have identified Emanuel Emegha as a man they want to sign.
Everton targeting Emanuel Emegha
Graeme Bailey – Chief Correspondent at TBR Football – has now been told that Everton are readying a bid to sign the Dutch striker, after his impressive displays at Strasbourg.
Emegha – who West Ham looked at in January – has scored 11 goals in 21 appearances across Ligue 1 this season, also providing two assists to help Strasbourg sit seventh in the table.
We understand BlueCo – who own Chelsea and Strasbourg – are ready to sell the Netherlands U21 international this summer, keen to cash in while his stock is high, although Everton face competition.
TBR Football are aware that West Ham remain keen on Emegha – with Graham Potter in need of a new striker amid injuries to Michail Antonio and Niclas Fullkrug – while Newcastle also view the Strasbourg No.10 as a potential replacement for Callum Wilson.

Chelsea are also scouting the striker born in Den Haag.
However – as it stands – Everton lead the race, with Emegha, who Tottenham wanted in 2023, keen on a move to the Premier League this summer.
Emanuel Emegha has been compared to Iliman Ndiaye
Everton, who also want Christian Norgaard, already found a gem in French football last summer after taking Iliman Ndiaye from Marseille in a £16.9m move – and Emegha has actually been compared to the Senegal international.
It was Football Transfers who likened the Strasbourg talisman to the Everton No.10 – who has become a real hit on Merseyside with six goals in 24 Premier League appearances this season.
