Everton are in talks to sign Scotland striker Che Adams from Championship side Southampton for £12m.

Adams, 27, scored 25 Premier League goals in four seasons for the Saints before their relegation in May and has two goals in three games this term.

Everton scored only 34 goals in 38 top-flight games last season and finished in 17th place as they narrowly avoided relegation on the final day.

He would become Sean Dyche's fifth summer signing.

The Toffees has so far brought in Ashley Young, Arnaut Danjuma, Jack Harrison and teenage striker Youssef Chermiti from Sporting Lisbon.

But manager Dyche said the 19-year-old Portugal youth international "needs to get properly, Premier League fit" and would be surprised if he is "ready straight away".

Despite their restricted budget, Everton were intent on bringing in another frontman in addition to Chermiti, with Dominic Calvert-Lewin not fit and Neal Maupay struggling to find the net.

Just what Everton need, another hardworking striker that doesn't score goals.

odd move when it's goalscoring you need

It's not always about goal return, it's about how the attack works around the focal point of a lone centre forward and if Calvert-Lewin is our first choice striker then Che Adams is a much more compatible backup than Neal Maupay who requires us to completely alter our attacking approach.
