Everton set sights on signing Vasco da Gama forward Andres Gomez

Everton are interested in signing Vasco da Gama forward Andres Gomez. 

According to ESPN, the Toffees have made initial enquiries about the Colombian, but they face competition from Bournemouth and Nottingham Forest. 

Everton are in the market for a new centre-forward, with Thierno Barry currently their only recognised option.

The Merseyside club sold Beto to Fiorentina this summer. They came close to signing Folarin Balogun on deadline day, but he walked away at the eleventh hour. 

Barry frustrated Everton supporters last season by missing numerous chances. He has improved this season.

The Frenchman has bagged 10 goals and three assists in 13 appearances across all competitions.

Everton are determined to get Barry more support and have set their sights on Vasco star Gomez. 

The 24-year-old initially joined the Brazilian club on loan in 2025 before a permanent transfer. 

He has made 72 senior appearances for Vasco, tallying nine goals and 13 assists. 

Gomez has mainly played on the left wing, but he can also be used as a striker and in midfield. 

Everton lost Iliman Ndiaye, Tim Iroegbunam and Beto this summer, but they have made an impressive start to the season under manager David Moyes. 

Everton are sixth in the Premier League table, just two points off the top four. 

Moyes’ men had a tough October, losing to Chelsea and Arsenal. However, they have since defeated Newcastle United and Coventry City to climb back up the standings.
