Sources reveal Everton's January signing plan as David Moyes' future takes new twist

Everton's owners are willing to back Moyes in January with a striker signing, while the manager is keen to sign a contract extension.

Everton's transfer plans for January have become a focal point amid uncertainty over the Friedkin Group's decision to put the club up for sale. Despite the ownership situation, sources indicate the owners are willing to back manager David Moyes in the transfer window, with a striker—either on loan or permanently—identified as a priority.

Moyes has impressed with a weakened squad, keeping Everton seventh in the Premier League. Figures inside the club want him to sign a contract extension, with one source revealing: "He wants to stay beyond the summer but he wants to have a proper go at it."

Minnesota United's Kelvin Yeboah is of serious interest, though concerns exist over an inflated price tag in January. A return for Folarin Balogun is understood to be unlikely after a failed summer move.
