Everton are now plotting a move to sign an “explosive” forward, with David Moyes keen to strengthen in attacking areas this summer, according to a report.Having amassed 10 assists this season, the winger is leading the way in the Championship, and he has been lauded as “explosive” by football talent scout Jacek Kulig, who also praises him for his dribbling and pace.

Fellows is clearly an exciting young prospect, so it is promising news that Everton are plotting a summer move, but they will need to strengthen in multiple key positions if they are to compete in the upper echelons of the table next season.

Quiet deadline day for the Toffees
Charly Alcaraz was the Toffees’ only signing during the January transfer window, with the midfielder completing a late loan move, which includes a buy clause.

It is understandable there was no desperation to bring in new options on deadline day, as having won three games on the bounce under the helm of Moyes, the Merseyside club are now in a very strong position to retain their Premier League status.

Moyes has admitted he was shocked by Everton’s PSR restrictions, which also affected their ability to do business, saying: “I’ve been really surprised at the way it’s restricting the football club.

“The PSR is hindering us. I think I can see now why the last few years at Everton have been so difficult. The people who’ve had to work under the restrictions have done a remarkable job.”

However, there is expected to be a significant rebuild in the summer, at which point there will be more money to play with.

With Calvert-Lewin’s contract set to expire in the summer, and Beto continuously being linked with a move away from Goodison Park, signing a striker could become a priority at the end of the campaign.

According to a report from TEAMtalk, the Toffees are also keen to bring in a creative right-winger, and West Bromwich Albion’s Tom Fellows fits the profile perfectly, with a summer move now being plotted.

There were reports that Everton had submitted a bid for Fellows on deadline day, but TEAMtalk state an offer was not made, even though they are known to be big admirers and Moyes wants to bring in new attacking options.

The West Brom winger could command a fee of £20m in the summer, although it is likely to be much more difficult to get a deal done if the Baggies secure promotion to the Premier League.

As such, the Toffees and rival suitors Brighton & Hove Albion will be hoping West Brom fail to reach the Championship play-offs.

With Moyes keen on a creative forward, the 21-year-old could fit the bill perfectly, given that he ranks in the 93rd percentile for assists per 90 over the past year, when compared to his positional peers playing at a similar level.
