You don't need to be a football genius to surmise that Everton are currently short of a potent goal threat.
An unfortunate injury to Dominic Calvert-Lewin and the sale of Richarlison to Tottenham Hotspur has left the Blues alarmingly short on firepower, a situation that has only been magnified by the first two matches of the Premier League season, with the only goal for registered by that of a former player putting through his own net.
The shortcoming is there in plain sight, with one national media journalist describing Frank Lampard's side against Aston Villa as having all the "cutting edge of a plastic spatula". The Goodison Park boss knows the score and reinforcements are certainly on their way.
