Frank Lampard, the manager of Everton, is prepared to step up his effort to bring in a new striker after losing his leading scorer Dominic Calvert-Lewin for six weeks.
The England forward injured his knee during training leading up to the Toffees’ Saturday night Premier League match against Chelsea at Goodison Park, leaving them without a reliable striker.
Richarlison was sold this summer, and Solomon Rondon was suspended on Saturday, so Lampard was forced to start Anthony Gordon as his team lost 1-0 in Merseyside.
But as soon as the game was over, attention turned to two positions that required urgent assistance before September 1.
Everton are looking for a new striker as well as a center-back, and that need is even more prominent now after events on Saturday.
Amadou Onana, a colossal midfielder, will soon be a part of the team as a new addition.
However, given Everton’s lack of firepower, Lampard is undoubtedly looking at a new central striker right now.
This week, a loan offer is anticipated for Chelsea forward Armando Broja. He actually entered the game on Saturday night against Everton.
