Joshua King could be the player Everton bring as a replacement to Moise Kean who moved to PSG on loan.

1. Arrival: Joshua King

Everton striker Moise Kean left one day before the transfer deadline day on a loan deal to PSG. PSG were on the hunt for a deputy striker after Edinson Cavani and Eric Choupo-Moting, two of their three strikers, left Paris post their contract expiry.

The Italian had a tough start to life but the Toffees never questioned his talent and Ancelotti reiterated again and again that Kean has a future at Everton. However, it seemed as though Kean and his agent were pushing for a deal, so that the player could get some regular minutes. PSG came in and offered a loan deal with no buy clause and also agreeing to pay all of Kean’s wages.

Since no striker was signed on the deadline day, this may leave Everton in a slightly vulnerable position when it comes to squad depth in the striker’s role. Cenk Tosun is recovering from his anterior cruciate ligament injury which could mean Everton could still go in for a striker.

Joshua King has been an Everton target and reports yesterday suggested that AFC Bournemouth are open to selling the Norwegian to get him off the wage bill. In fact, the Cherries would also accept an instalment based payment.

Joshua King is a solid option to act as a back up to Dominic Calvert-Lewin and even take a leading role in the frontline in cup games or during the fixture congestion. A number of clubs have been linked to the Bournemouth striker and his availability will surely tempt teams to make an attempt.

Everton could also try their luck in signing Joshua King.
