Ed, is there any serious links and string links to any forward players not seen anything so far and it's worrying to say the least, I know it's early days but we can't afford to wait like last year and start the season 5 weeks after everyone else!

{Ed002's Note - It will be all down to money:

Beto (S) Only joined Udinese in July 2022. Unless a significantt offer were made Udinese would not look to sell. Everton has an interest as do Napoli.
Dodi Lukebakio (RW/F) Was wanted by Frank Lampard at Everton but the club refused to support a move and he moved to Wolfsburg on loan. Hertha can't resist a sale this summer due to relegation. As the player is scoring pretty regularly, Inter Milan are keen to take him as cover. Everton scouts did return to watch him against Werder Bremen.
Iliman Ndiaye (F/S) Everton enquired in January and could look again.
Viktor Gyokeres (S) Sporting have approached Coventry and asked to talk to the player.Everton looked to him in the summer and they could look again as he is having a great season. Wolves interest will probably have gone with Cuhna signing. Bournemouth offer an option. Leeds will look to him as a Bamford replacement and have approached Coventry with the signing of Rutter not impacting their interest. Coventry have resisted a sale up to now but you can expect him to make a move in the summer.
Boulaye Dia (S) Salernitana want to buy and resell Dia but the player wants to understand other options. Prior interest of PL clubs has drifted for now although Everton may have lingering interest at the right price and Valencia may be open to a sale if Saleintana do not take up their option.
El Bilal Toure (S) An option to Gyokeres for Everton and of interest to Wolves. Almeria would demand his full buy out clause be paid in a single payent - and it is €40M. Prior interest of West Ham remains.}

Thank you Ed that’s great! Doesn’t sound overly promising for us but thank you. Any substance in the Harrison, Gnoto and Tyler Adams links? I’d personally go for sinisterra I wanted him last summer would be interesting to see if we could get him highly doubt it though.

{Ed002's Note - I have answered about Harrison. Liverpool has no interest in the others.}

Good info Ed, however reading between the lines doesn’t sound great for us in signing m any of those players.

They’ll either be too expensive or have better options elsewhere.

Ndiaye looks a decent player however not sure Sheffield Utd would sell him having just got promotion to the premier league.
