Wout Weghorst’s loan switch to Manchester United could hand Everton a boost in their pursuit of Anthony Elanga.
The ECHO reported at the end of last month that Elanga is among what is said to be a detailed list of targets for the Blues this month. Everton’s need to strengthen up top is well-documented and Frank Lampard revealed hopes of bringing in two forward players during the World Cup break.
Ten Hag reiterated his reluctance to sanction the departure of Elanga earlier this month, saying: "I know we have good players and I know a lot of clubs will have an interest in players who aren’t playing for us so often. But we need the squad. We need depth in the squad and especially, I would say, the frontline."
