“Everton Eyes Turkish Talent Can Uzun as Striking Solution, Faces Competition from Premier League Rivals”
Everton is expressing interest in securing the services of Can Uzun, the Turkey Under-21 international, from FC Nurnberg, as per FootballTransfers. The reported fee for the young forward is ยฃ12.8 million, with Everton facing competition from Fulham, Newcastle United, and Brighton, all of whom are scouting the 18-year-old. Uzun has showcased his goal-scoring prowess with eight goals in 16 Bundesliga 2 appearances this season, following his senior debut for FC Nurnberg last season.
Despite Everton’s struggles in attack this season, with midfielder Abdoulaye Doucoure leading the goal-scoring charts with six, signing Uzun appears to be a low-risk move. The young striker has demonstrated consistent goal-scoring ability, notching 11 goals in 21 appearances across all competitions this season after graduating from the academy last year. Uzun, who has already been involved with the Turkey U21s, presents a promising prospect for the future.
While the player may serve as an understudy and gain valuable experience learning from Everton’s current striker, Dominic Calvert-Lewin, the threat of Financial Fair Play (FFP) could pose a hurdle to Uzun’s potential move to Goodison Park in the coming seasons. Everton could face competition from other European clubs like Fulham, making it imperative for the club to act swiftly on this promising talent.
