# Everton: Toffees could make Ludovic Ajorque ‘offer’

**[Everton](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/everton-fc-news/) could reportedly make an ‘offer’ to RC Strasbourg to sign striker Ludovic Ajorque.**

### The Lowdown: One of the options

The Goodison Park outfit have [reportedly](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/everton-fc-news/leicester-transfer-news-ajorque-brentford-strasbourg/) already watched Ajorque in action, and he is one of the strikers that they are considering bringing in following the injury to Dominic Calvert-Lewin.

They played [without](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/62358042?at_medium=RSS&at_campaign=KARANGA) a recognised centre-forward in the 1-0 loss at home to Chelsea on the opening Premier League weekend, and so are in desperate need of filling that void.

### The Latest: ‘Offer’ prepared

Taking to Twitter, [transfer reporter Santi Aouna](https://twitter.com/Santi_J_FM) has revealed that the Merseyside club could ‘[offer](https://twitter.com/Santi_J_FM/status/1557704275765207040)‘ Strasbourg a loan with an option to buy for Ajorque, adding that first talks have already been opened:

*“Everton are interested in Ajorque and could offer a loan with an option to buy. The first exchanges took place. An English intermediary is involved in the case. Strasbourg prefers to sell Ajorque and blocks Diallo’s departure.”*

### The Verdict: Get it done

Given their striker shortage at the moment, this is a deal that Frank Lampard’s team simply need to get done.

Dubbed a [‘beast’](https://twitter.com/journ9ale/status/1438946185914552323) by journalist Alessandro Schiavone, the six-foot-six Ajorque managed an impressive 12 goals and eight assists in Ligue 1 last term, and he has 81 goals in total over the course of his club career so far ([Transfermarkt](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/ludovic-ajorque/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/283994)).

In Strasbourg’s opening game in Ligue 1 against AS Monaco this season, Ajorque won five of his seven aerial duels ([SofaScore](https://www.sofascore.com/rc-strasbourg-as-monaco/dIsjI)), showing that he could be a real powerhouse for the Toffees, and an ideal replacement for Calvert-Lewin until the Englishman recovers from his injury.
