Our Everton fans here in the Transfer Tavern are loving the club's revival under new boss Sam Allardyce.

After a summer of big spending at Goodison Park, many of our punters were waiting for Everton to break comfortably into the top six and upset the apple cart. What happened was very unexpected, Ronald Koeman couldn't get the team to click and a drastic fall down the Premier League saw them flirt with the relegation zone a little too closely for many of our Evertonian's fancy in the Tavern.

Temporary manager David Unsworth also couldn't get the right balance and they continued to struggle until relegation saviour Sam Allardyce came along. He's started a mini-revival that has seen the Toffees climb back up the league in recent weeks and scoring averagely two goals per game.

In order to keep this run going Allardyce will be surely wanting to bring in some attacking reinforcements to the club in January to add firepower to keep this upward trajectory going.

Our landlord takes a look at two strikers, the Everton board should be looking at...

Daniel Sturridge

Their local rivals Liverpool have a striker that is reported to be seeking a move away from the club in order to get some vital first-team minutes under his belt after finding himself low down on the pecking order and he'll want to re-find his sharpness in front of goal ahead of the World Cup in 2018, in a bid to impress England boss Gareth Southgate.

A fit Daniel Sturridge is of course, a rarity recently but if Allardyce can work his magic, much like he has done with Wayne Rooney, he could have the old striker from back in Liverpool's most successful season in recent years, when the forward was banging in goals with Luis Suarez to torment defences all season long.

Olivier Giroud

The Arsenal man is having to at the moment, settle for substitution appearances and having recently broken the record for, coming off the bench goals, it's hard not to use him as an impact player.

Although Allardyce likes a target man up front and you'd feel a move to Everton at this moment in time would be a perfect fit for Giroud, especially with the World Cup next summer. He'll surely be wanting to get in the spotlight to ensure he's on the plane to Russia.

You can see how the former England boss would utilise Giroud's strengths and he would surely be a great player for the way Allardyce works.
