# Everton: Fans buzz over Matthew Hoppe transfer update

**Some Everton fans have been left buzzing as a transfer update emerged on Matthew Hoppe.**

As per [Bild](https://www.bild.de/sport/fussball/fussball/schalke-04-drei-holland-klubs-sind-scharf-auf-matthew-hoppe-77411394.bild.html), the Goodison Park faithful could sign the striker for as little as €4.5m (£3.8m) before the summer window ends, with FC Schalke in need of raising funds following their relegation from the Bundesliga in the 2020/21 season.

Despite his team’s relegation, Hoppe had a fine individual campaign, scoring six goals and adding one assist in 22 games in the German top flight ([Transfermarkt](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/matthew-hoppe/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/678194/plus/0?saison=2020&verein=33&liga=&wettbewerb=L1&pos=&trainer_id=)), and was described as a player with [‘real quality’](https://bulinews.com/news/7634/new-schalke-coach-dimitrios-grammozis-not-expecting-miracles-from-matthew-hoppe) by manager Dimitrios Grammozis back in March.

The USA international could turn out to be a very decent back-up striker to Dominic Calvert-Lewin, and at just £3.8m in today’s market, would seemingly be a bit of a steal.
