Everton is locked in a transfer battle with Nottingham Forest for Fenerbahce striker Youssef En Nesyri. Sources indicate that both clubs have made inquiries, with En Nesyri reportedly preferring a move to Everton. The 28-year-old is currently at the AFCON, preparing for Morocco's semi-final, and has long been a target for Premier League clubs since his impressive spell at Sevilla.

The move for En Nesyri comes as Everton aims to bolster its attacking options. The club is also reportedly monitoring two Serie A right-backs, Genoa's Brooke Norton-Cuffy and Bologna's Emil Holm, as part of their efforts to strengthen the squad. Everton has been looking for a new right-back since the summer, and current right-back Nathan Patterson might be sent on loan to Sevilla.

Meanwhile, Everton's transfer activities are not limited to incoming players. Goalkeeper Harry Tryer is poised to join Cardiff in a permanent deal, pending the lifting of Cardiff's transfer embargo. This move will provide Everton with some financial flexibility while helping Cardiff bolster their League One squad.

Everton's manager, David Moyes, has also expressed frustration over the VAR decision that led to Michael Keane's three-match ban. Moyes believes the punishment was excessive and has criticized the inconsistency in VAR decisions. This ban will impact Everton's upcoming fixtures, including the FA Cup match against Sunderland and Premier League games against Aston Villa and Leeds United.
