Everton Faces Key Decisions on Strikers

Everton is facing a crucial juncture as they navigate the final days of the transfer window, particularly concerning Dominic Calvert-Lewin's future, with his contract set to expire next summer. The club is under pressure to either extend his contract or consider offers, as losing him for free could be a financial blow. Meanwhile, Marseille remains interested in signing Neal Maupay, but they need Everton's cooperation to finalize a deal, especially given that Everton is demanding €8 million for the striker. Everton's recent performances have highlighted their struggles in front of goal, making Calvert-Lewin's presence more important. Additionally, Jordan Pickford's recent mistake in a match against Tottenham adds to the team's challenges, as they rely on him to maintain form amidst a turbulent season. As the transfer window closes, Everton's decisions regarding key players will be critical for their season ahead.
