Everton are considering a move for free-agent Jamie Vardy after being left with one recognised senior striker following the collapse of their attempts to sign Folarin Balogun and Joshua Zirkzee, according to reports.
The Toffees sold Beto to Fiorentina and Iliman Ndiaye to Manchester City before the transfer window closed, with manager David Moyes seeking another centre-forward. A proposed move for Monaco striker Balogun then collapsed on deadline day, while subsequent approaches for Manchester United forward Zirkzee and Roma striker Tammy Abraham also failed.
