The Friedkin Group ready to submit Everton bid for £15m forward as David Moyes agreement nears
Everton are in need of January signings and are now needing to recruit without a manager at the helm.
Sacking Sean Dyche just hours before Everton kicked off in the third round of the FA Cup will have taken many by surprise.
But the Premier League is not standing still for anyone with the Toffees now just days away from facing Aston Villa.
It has not been the start to the season which Everton will have hoped for which is why The Friedkin Group are eyeing two January signings.
Although there is plenty of issues to solve for the new Everton owners, it seems as if they are focusing on bringing in one player from Ligue 1.

Everton preparing bid for Lyon’s Ernest Nuamah
Now 10 days into the January transfer window, Everton have been beaten to signing Jaden Philogene from Aston Villa.
A new forward is on the agenda for the Everton owners with the Toffees struggling massively in front of goal.
According to journalist Fabrice Hawkins, the Friedkins are now considering making their bid soon for the Lyon winger Ernest Nuamah.

‘If the two clubs manage to reach an agreement, there is a good chance that the 21-year-old winger will fly to the Premier League before the end of the winter transfer window.’
Everton made their move for Nuamah last summer, with a Premier League rival believed to be trying to hijack their deal.
Although a move did not pan out, Everton now find themselves approaching John Textor to potentially sign one of his players.

Ernest Nuamah needs fresh start elsewhere
The 21-year-old has featured 11 times for Lyon in the league this season, but only five of those have come from the starting XI.
It has not exactly been the best of starts to the term for the young winger who has a lot of potential about him.
And with Jack Harrison being heavily criticised by Everton fans, there bar has not been set very high at right wing this season.

Nuamah was valued at £15m last summer as Everton looked to secure his services.
The question is, though, whether Nuamah is a player who could arrive on Merseyside and make an instant impact in Everton’s relegation battle.
