Everton set sights on signing Vasco da Gama forward Andres Gomez

Everton set sights on signing Vasco da Gama forward Andres Gomez Everton are interested in signing Vasco da Gama forward Andres Gomez. According to ESPN , the Toffees have made initial enquiries about the Colombian but they face competition from Bournemouth and Nottingham Forest. Everton are in the market for a new centre-forward, with Thierno Barry currently their only recognised option upfront. The Merseyside club sold Beto to Fiorentina in the summer. They came close to signing Folarin Balogun on summer deadline day before the Monaco star walked away from the transfer at the eleventh hour. Barry frustrated Everton supporters last season with his missed chances. But the French striker has made an impressive comeback this term. He has bagged 10 goals and three assists in 13 appearances across all competitions this campaign. Everton are determined to get Barry more support and have set their sights on Vasco star Gomez. The 24-year-old initially joined the Brazilian club on loan in 2025 before a permanent transfer. He has made 72 senior appearances for Vasco, scoring nine goals and providing 13 assists in the process. Gomez has mainly played on the left wing but he can also be used as a striker and a midfielder. Everton endured a tough summer window, losing Iliman Ndiaye, Tim Iroegbunam and Beto. But they have made an impressive start to the season under manager David Moyes. Everton are sitting sixth in the Premier League table with just two points off the top four. Moyes’ men had a tough October, as they lost to Chelsea and Arsenal while playing out a 2-2 draw with Hull City in the top-flight. However, they bounced back with 1-0 away win at Newcastle United, with Barry scoring the decisive goal. Everton followed that up with a 3-1 home success against Coventry City in their final game before the international break. Barry was once again the standout performer, with the Frenchman scoring a brace. Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall also scored a late goal.
