Everton want Euro club forward coming off UCL brace - report

Everton have Bodo/Glimt striker Kasper Hogh on their radar after his heroics against Manchester City in the Champions League.

On 20 January, the Norwegian club beat the Premier League giants 3-1 at the Aspmyra Stadion, with the 25-year-old centre-forward scoring a brace.

Hogh has been linked with a move to the Hill Dickinson Stadium, and the Toffees could complete a deal for around £20million.

Youssef En-Nesyri has also been heavily linked to join David Moyes’ ranks, but it doesn’t look like the Morocco international will be moving to Merseyside, leaving the Blues to search for alternatives.

David Moyes to fix goalscoring issue with Kasper Hogh at Everton

As things stand, the Toffees are 10th in the Premier League table, just three points behind fifth-place Manchester United.

Moyes has aspirations to qualify for European football this season, and the Blues are in touching distance of doing so if they remain consistent.

While the Scottish manager will be confident about achieving some form of success in the current campaign, the Hill Dickinson Stadium faithful have an evident concern.

Thierno Barry and Beto are the only two natural number nine options at Moyes’ disposal right now, and they’ve scored a combined six goals in the league this season.

The Merseyside outfit has a goal difference of minus one right now in the Premier League, and only five teams have scored fewer goals than them.

Hogh is coming off a brilliant 2025, scoring 17 goals in 28 Eliteserien games for Bodo/Glimt, leading to interest from the Toffees, according to SportsBoom.

Friedkin Group have to act now after David Moyes disaster

Iliman Ndiaye and Idrissa Geuye’s return from AFCON after winning the tournament with Senegal will be a massive boost for Moyes.

Everton desperately need the forward’s return as they’ve lacked creativity up front since his absence.

The Scottish manager must now also push The Friedkin Group to complete a few attacking signings, as Jack Grealish is expected to be out injured for a while, but it remains to be seen whether Hogh is seen as a solution.

While the American owners have clearly been reluctant to spend in the winter transfer window, a reaction is definitely needed to replace the Manchester City loanee’s influence in Merseyside.
