Everton’s summer rebuild is picking up pace under David Moyes — and two ambitious striker moves are now firmly in motion. According to TBR Football, Everton are targeting Thierno Barry and Richarlison as part of a bold plan to finally fix their blunt attack.
Following another tense season flirting with relegation, Moyes steadied the ship to a respectable 13th-place finish. Now, Everton want to push on — and they’ve identified goals as the biggest missing ingredient. Signing Tottenham’s Richarlison and Villarreal’s Thierno Barry, the breakout hero of the Euro U21 Championships, would certainly signal serious intent.
Barry & Richarlison: Everton’s Striker Revolution?

Everton have already held talks with Barry’s representatives. The 22-year-old, signed by Villarreal from Basel for £12m last summer, is now attracting Premier League attention after a sensational debut season in Spain.
His stock soared even higher after he scored a stoppage-time winner for France U21 against Georgia in the UEFA Euro U21 group stage — his first international goal in dramatic fashion.
Who Else Wants Barry?
Barry isn’t short on admirers. TBR Football confirm that Newcastle, Brentford, Crystal Palace, Leeds, West Ham and Wolves have all been scouting the Villarreal striker in recent months.
But it’s Everton who are leading the chase, impressed by his output of 19 goals and four assists in 41 games last season across all competitions.

Can Richarlison Return to Goodison Park?
Moyes is still hopeful of a shock reunion with fan-favourite Richarlison, but the decision will depend on new Spurs boss Thomas Frank. The Brazilian forward’s role in North London remains unclear, and Everton will be watching closely.
If a deal can be done, it would mark one of the most emotional comebacks of the 2025 transfer window.
