# Everton: Toffees in talks to sign Che Adams

**Sky Sports reported live on air on Thursday that [Everton](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/everton-fc-news/) are in talks to sign Che Adams.**

### The Lowdown: Goalscorers wanted

It has been [reported](https://twitter.com/reluctantnicko/status/1563080722034081792) that the Goodison Park outfit want to sign two forwards before the transfer window closes.

They look [set](https://twitter.com/ALANMYERSMEDIA/status/1563087331703136256) to sign Neal Maupay from Brighton and Hove Albion, and so that leaves room for one more before the deadline, with [links](https://twitter.com/GraemeBailey/status/1562554805360332800) to Rennes striker Serhou Guirassy also popping up this week.

### The Latest: Adams talks

Reporting live on air during the Transfer Talk show on Thursday morning, Sky Sports News revealed (via [Football Daily](https://twitter.com/footballdaily/status/1562770989330550784)) that the Merseyside club are in talks to sign Adams:

*“We’re hearing that Everton want to sign a forward, and one target for them is Che Adams at Southampton. One source has told us that the deal under discussion would value Adams at up to £25m.”*

### The Verdict: Get it done

Adding Adams into the mix as well as Maupay would be a very smart piece of business from Frank Lampard’s team.

The Scotland international also boasts plenty of Premier League [experience](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/che-adams/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/346779/plus/0?saison=&verein=&liga=&wettbewerb=GB1&pos=&trainer_id=), and he opened his account for the season nicely with [two goals](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/che-adams/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/346779/plus/0?saison=2022&verein=&liga=&wettbewerb=&pos=&trainer_id=) away to Leicester City last weekend, helping Southampton to come from behind and clinch all three points in an impressive 2-1 win.

Saints manager Ralph Hasenhuttl has since [claimed](https://twitter.com/AlfieHouseEcho/status/1562774683891924998) that Adams will not be sold at any price, but the Toffees could well test their resolve with a £25m offer before the window officially shuts on September 1st.

Nonetheless, the 26-year-old would give the Blues another handy option up top with Dominic Calvert-Lewin out injured.
