Everton are in the market for a striker this summer transfer window. <\/strong><\/p>\n

Dominic Calvert-Lewin is expected to leave Everton<\/a> at the end of his contract despite David Moyes offering him a renewal.<\/p>\n

Armando Broja has already returned to Chelsea after his loan spell, so clearly a number nine is on the agenda at Finch Farm.<\/p>\n

Everton have been eyeing Stuttgart striker Nick Woltemade<\/a> after his prolific season in the Bundesliga, netting 17 goals across all competitions.<\/p>\n

Woltemade is valued at around \u00a334m, which has alerted the likes of Liverpool, Arsenal and Bayern Munich.<\/p>\n

The Everton<\/a> target featured in Germany\u2019s 2-0 defeat to France on Sunday afternoon, and here\u2019s what the national media had to say about his performance.<\/p>\n

Woltemade started the Nations League clash against France but was hauled off at half-time after a hit-and-miss 45 minutes. <\/p>\n

The German media all reacted similarly, with criticism aimed at his poor finishing.<\/p>\n

SportBild<\/a> wrote.<\/p>\n

3\/10 \u2013 \u201cThe currently in-form German striker made his senior debut against Portugal. He had a great chance to make it 1-0 after 19 minutes, following a one-two with Pavlovic, but his misplaced shot was denied by Costa. <\/p>\n

\u201cHe worked hard but didn\u2019t always get through. He helped score the opening goal by blocking R\u00faben Dias, creating space for Wirtz.\u201d<\/p>\n

Bundesliga in English<\/a> added<\/p>\n

6\/10 \u2013 \u201cGot into dangerous positions and used his physicality well to trouble the French defence, making smart runs into the box and linking up effectively with teammates. <\/p>\n

\u201cHowever, he lacked the clinical edge in front of goal \u2013 missing a golden early chance by firing straight at Maignan, and later seeing a clever effort denied again by the French goalkeeper shortly before France took the lead. Ultimately replaced at half-time by Stuttgart teammate Deniz Undav.\u201d<\/p>\n

Express<\/a> said.<\/p>\n

3\/10 \u2013 \u201cCommitted and driven to goal. He just failed to convert his first chance into his first goal.\u201d<\/p>\n

Woltemade\u2019s stats vs France <\/p>\n

Woltemade didn\u2019t have a brilliant debut for Germany<\/a> on Thursday, and it seems his second cap against France magnified all the same issues. <\/p>\n

The 23-year-old\u2019s lack of cutting edge will certainly be a worry for Moyes, as he missed two big chances this afternoon, as per Sofascore<\/a>.<\/p>\n
