Everton ‘set their sights’ on international winger with 12 goals in 12 games this season
Everton have ‘set their sights’ on Ferencvaros winger Adama Traore.
According to Calciomercato , the 27-year-old has caught the eye of Blues boss Frank Lampard after a prolific start to the campaign with his new side, scoring five goals in five Hungarian top-flight games as well as another four in six Champions League qualifying matches. He has also added three goals in the Europa League, meaning he has netted 12 in 12 games so far this season.
Traore only signed for Ferencvaros this summer, spending the previous two seasons at Moldovan side Sheriff Tiraspol, where he picked up 25 goals and 16 assists in 61 games across all competitions. The Mali winger was also part of the team that beat Carlo Ancelotti's Real Madrid at the Bernabeu in the Champions League.

Everton striker told to emulate Raheem Sterling change as new challenge emerges
Sunderland manager Tony Mowbray believes that Everton striker Ellis Simms will rise to the challenge placed in front of him as he continues his loan spell with the club.
Everton allowed the young forward to move to the North East for the 2022/23 campaign in the summer and he has bagged three goals in seven Championship appearances so far. An injury sustained to teammate Ross Stewart means that Simms is now Sunderland's only out-and-out senior striker, which could put more pressure on the 21-year-old to find the back of the net.
Mowbray, who recently took over as Black Cats manager following the departure of Alex Neil, has faith in Simms o step up to the task at hand. He wants the Blues loanee to work hard for the side, but also be selfish enough to get himself into the right areas to score goals for the team.
Mowbray told the Northern Echo : "I think Ellis will rise to the challenge. As long as he does not put too much of a burden on himself . That’s why the rest have to step up as well."
