# Everton: Toffees target Nottingham Forest star Matty Cash in £12m bid

**According to a report from the Sun ([via Nottinghamshire Live](https://www.nottinghampost.com/sport/football/transfer-news/nottingham-forest-transfer-news-cash-3540965)), Everton are currently in the mix to sign young Championship ace Matty Cash for a potential £12m.**

Cash, who has impressed for Nottingham Forest so far this season in England’s second tier – [with two goals and two assists from right-midfield](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/matty-cash/leistungsdaten/spieler/425334) – is currently a hot prospect for Sabri Lamouchi’s side.

The right-midfield slot is a [position](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/fc-everton/kadernachposition/verein/29) the Toffees arguably need to strengthen in January, with Theo Walcott being their only natural winger. while the likes of Alex Iwobi can also play in that position.

[Richarlison](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/richarlison/leistungsdaten/spieler/378710) has been put out wide recently by Marco Silva as well, but Cash could definitely help provide some solid backup in that area of the squad.

According to reports, [Everton sent scouts to watch the Englishman](https://www.nottinghampost.com/sport/football/football-news/always-seen-nottingham-forest-ace-3533123) play for Forest, with them being impressed by his versatility as a midfielder and a right-back.

Crystal Palace and Southampton are[also reportedly eyeing the youngster](https://www.nottinghampost.com/sport/football/transfer-news/nottingham-forest-transfer-news-cash-3540965), with the Toffees potentially facing a battle for his signature when the January transfer window opens.

Indeed, whether or not Silva decides it’s necessary to splash the cash on a Championship player, there are few that would argue he wouldn’t have potential as a signing – with the 22-year-old still possessing plenty of years to blossom even further into a great addition to the side.

Cash rose through Forest’s academy ranks as a youngster, and if the move goes through, Everton could land another decent homegrown aspect to their squad.
