# Everton: Toffees keen to sign Pedro this summer

**[Everton](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/everton-fc-news/) want to bring Flamengo striker Pedro to the [Premier League](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/premier-league-news/) this summer, according to reports.**

### The Lowdown: Reinforcements needed

The Merseyside outfit [failed](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/everton-fc/transfers/verein/29/plus/?saison_id=2022&pos=&detailpos=&w_s=w) to add a single fresh face to their ranks in January so attacking reinforcements will definitely be needed in the upcoming window regardless of which division they might find themselves in.

The Brazilian’s contract at the Maracana Stadium isn’t set to expire until [2027](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/flamengo-rio-de-janeiro/berateruebersicht/verein/614), but being Vitor Pereira’s [second](https://www.whoscored.com/Teams/1239/Show/Brazil-Flamengo) top-performing offensive player, has caught the eye of [Sean Dyche](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/tag/sean-dyche/) at Goodison Park.

### The Latest: Everton eyeing Pedro

According to Spanish reports (via [CaughtOffside](https://www.caughtoffside.com/2023/03/03/west-ham-everton-aston-villa-join-the-race-for-10-goal-striker/)), Everton, alongside West Ham and Aston Villa, are ‘keen on signing’ Pedro ahead of the 2023/24 campaign.

It’s stated that the 25-year-old ‘could be tempted’ by a move to the English top-flight to show what he’s really capable of, so this may be one to watch in the months ahead.

### The Verdict: Perfect for Dyche

Dominic Calvert-Lewin, Neal Maupay and the recently returning Ellis Simms haven’t made a significant enough impact at Everton this season so Pedro would be the perfect centre-forward to come in and change Dyche’s fortunes.

The [Adidas-sponsored](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/pedro/profil/spieler/432895) talisman has clocked up [90](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/pedro/leistungsdatenverein/spieler/432895) goal contributions in 159 appearances for Flamengo, where he’s currently averaging [2.2](https://www.whoscored.com/Players/318475/Show/Pedro) shots per league game.

The 6 foot 1 attacker additionally ranks in the 99th percentile for four different statistics, including non-penalty expected goals plus assisted goals ([FBRef](https://fbref.com/en/players/1ab6fad3/Pedro)).

Finally, Pedro has been [hailed](https://www.footballfancast.com/leeds-united-news/pedro-leeds-transfer-jesse-marsch-flamengo/amp) an ‘excellent finisher’ by BBC commentator [Guy Mowbray](https://icdb.tv/person/200/Guy-Mowbray), making him the ideal candidate to put pen to paper this summer.
