Everton considering Sammie Szmodics swoop

Everton are considering a move for Sammie Szmodics from Blackburn Rovers, as Sean Dyche would be keen on attacking reinforcements. 

According to TBR, Everton are keen on adding Sammie Szmodics this summer, with Blackburn Rovers likely to sell the attacker when the market is hot. Sean Dyche may want attacking reinforcements in his squad ahead of the new season, as the market could still see them lose critical men.

Everton are keen on Sammie Szmodics

Everton are in for a tricky summer and could see their squad depleted owing to some potential departures. They might end up losing some key stars, including Dominic Calvert-Lewin, and if his departure materialises, Sean Dyche will have to fill a big gap in his attack. 

This team lacked a player who could score prolifically or even create multiple chances for teammates. Dyche might look out for an attacking midfielder with versatile qualities, as Blackburn Rovers’ 28-year-old England-born Irish international Sammie Szmodics emerges on their radar. 

Szmodics could leave Edwood Park as the club might look to cash in on his brilliant season in the Championships. The 28-year-old scored 33 times in all competitions and could have the doors opened for a Premier League switch.

This may have been reflected in his decision not to renew with Rovers, which is also why the club is eager to cash in. With Everton keen, they are the only side to show an interest and might do a deal if the price and other details are according to their preference. 

Everton entering a tricky period

The potential loss of Calvert-Lewin would leave Beto as their only recognised senior striker, with the Brazilian’s three-goal season not particularly likely to fill Dyche with confidence. They are also on the verge of losing Amadou Onana to Aston Villa, as this sale could let them keep Jarrad Branthwaite beyond the summer window. 

They have already re-signed Jack Harrison and could even look for a new striker if the Calvert-Lewin sale materialises. As for Szmodics, he can play in various positions in the front line and even in midfield, as Dyche might also use him as a striker in certain games.
