With the continuing struggles of Beto and Barry upfront for Everton, the Rumour Mill has burst into life with a claim that Everton could be looking to make a move for Joshua Zirkzee, whom The Mirror unashamedly label as a Man Utd Flop.
Sky Sports and others have also got wind of this, claiming that Everton want to get a different profile of forward to Beto and Barry, and that Ivan Toney and Zirkzee are high up on their list of targets should they become available in January.
Zirkzee has made only five appearances this term and has been on the pitch for just 90 minutes after Man Utd strengthened their forward options in the summer with the acquisition of Benjamin Sesko, Matheus Cunha and Bryan Mbeumo. Consequently, Zirkzee has slipped well down the pecking order.
Everton do have something of an established history for picking up waifs and strays who have been turfed out of Old Trafford, and the manager David Moyes can boast a unique managerial connection with one of his former clubs... but is this enough to create a firm link that will lead to anything substantive?
It seems unlikely given the current betting odds suggest West Ham are in the lead in this particular race, with a current price of 3/1 for a January move.

So either we weren't interested, or we're now desperate.
