Everton need forward options next season with David Moyes hanging on to the limited options he\u2019s got.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Toffees are in for a tough reality this transfer window, as targets might not be easy to land.<\/p>\n

This will lead The Friedkin Group<\/a> to target those who are lesser-known around Europe, with Moyes<\/a> hoping to deliver a strong strategy.<\/p>\n

As mentioned, forwards will be an area Everton<\/a> need to seek improvement with Dominic Calvert-Lewin likely to leave<\/a>.<\/p>\n

He could end up staying, but even still, with the 29-year-old, another striker is needed, and now former Chelsea boss Maurizio Sarri is crucial in Everton going for one player.<\/p>\n

With many ongoing operations having a major effect on how Everton strategise, Everton target Taty Castellanos<\/a> now has a potential change in his future.<\/p>\n

It was announced recently that Maurizio Sarri is the manager of Lazio once again, with the Italian set to assess his squad this window.<\/p>\n

Castellanos will come under this bracket with the 26-year-old striker seemingly looking for a new chapter in his career.<\/p>\n

Despite interest from Everton in Castellanos being downplayed<\/a>, the Argentine forward now might be affected following the appointment of Sarri.<\/p>\n

La Lazio Siamo Noi<\/a> reports that Sarri\u2019s opinion can prove decisive in terms of Castellanos\u2019 future.<\/p>\n

Lazio have failed to qualify for European competitions and are in need of money that can help them bolster their side, and it\u2019s been previously claimed that it would take \u00a330m for Everton to price the striker away from Rome.<\/p>\n

Whether Castellanos would fit Moyes\u2019 Everton side<\/p>\n

A striker is always a tricky purchase to make as it comes with the risk of unreliability.<\/p>\n

Moyes might have to take this risk with the 26-year-old due to limited options around, but he\u2019s proven at Lazio that he can be a striker made for the big occasion, showing his worth to Lazio.<\/p>\n

He might only be 5\u201910, but that header proves he can be a threat in the box, and his desire to win duels is something he excels at.<\/p>\n\n\nCastellanos\u2019 statistics for Lazio in the 24\/25 season<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\nGames played<\/td>\n29<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\nGoal involvements<\/td>\n13 (10G+3A)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\nChances created<\/td>\n27<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\nTouches in opposition box<\/td>\n160<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\nDuels won per 90<\/td>\n5.23<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

Beto<\/a> will need to fight off competition next season to improve himself, but it will also help Moyes out with a headache next season.<\/p>\n

With a striker a priority for Everton<\/a> this window, the Argentine could be exactly what they need through his ability to link-up play on the counter-attack, fitting Moyes\u2019 plans to a tee.<\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Everton need forward options next season with David Moyes hanging on to the limited options he\u2019s got.
