The winger cancelled out Brennan Johnson's opener to earn a point against Nottingham Forest.

Tom Cannon has committed his future to Everton with the exciting striker putting pen-to-paper on a new three-year contract.

He has an excellent work ethic and has proven his ability to score goals at every level he has played at. "I feel like I can speak to him about anything There’s nothing more I want to do than to play for Everton." Hopefully I can keep scoring and playing well and get more involved with the first team. After finishing as the team's top scorers in 2021-22, he has made a strong start to this season, under new manager Paul Tait, scoring four goals in the first three games. And, in the future, he hopes that will lead to first-team opportunities.

Alex Iwobi is revelling in the prestige of making his 100th appearance for Everton during Saturday's 1-1 draw with Nottingham Forest.

While at the Emirates Stadium, he made 149 appearances with the first of them coming in 2015 at 19 after he had graduated from the academy in North London. “The movements of the back three and the angles of trying to play through, especially in the early parts of the game, were really good. Iwobi celebrated his landmark appearance, publishing a photo on Twitter with the accompanying caption: “Honoured to have made 100 appearances for the Blues #UpTheToffees.”

Everton transfer news, rumours, gossip and speculation including updates on Scott McTominay, Mohammed Kudus, Ivan Toney and Adnan Januzaj.

The Blues, along with Leicester, Newcastle and West Ham, are said to be keen on a move for McTominay should he lose his spot in Erik ten Hag's starting line-up. It looked like it was going to be another disappointing defeat for Everton before the moment of brilliance from Gray and Pickford. After finishing as the team's top scorers in 2021-22, he has made a strong start to this season, under new manager Paul Tait, scoring four goals in the first three games. And, in the future, he hopes that will lead to first-team opportunities. He reports Gomez is eager to leave the La Liga outfit with Bundesliga side Borussia Monchengladbach pushing for a move. A new contacts yesterday with #StadeRennais for the forward: the club could make an offer already in the next few hours. If Everton come in with the wages and the package, I could see him going there.” Fenerbahce are also reportedly keen on the player. European Sky Sports presenter Geletti Tweeted: “Everton are still looking for a new striker and in these last days there is growing interest in Serhou #Guirassy. Other avenues are not to be excluded in the event of failure." However it looks like a deal could still be done for the 32-year-old. The dialogue is not broken between the three parties.

Everton are “probably in pole position” to sign Southampton striker Che Adams, according to Daily Express journalist Ryan Taylor.

Everton manager, Frank Lampard, has showered encomiums on Alex Iwobi after the Nigerian impressed once again in Saturday's 1-1 home draw against.

Iwobi could have won it for Everton in stoppage time but his effort narrowly went over the crossbar.” “The movements of the back three and the angles of trying to play through, especially in the early parts of the game, were really good.” The Merseysiders are yet to record a win in the Premier League this season but the Nigerian has thrived in his new number 10 position.

Everton could save their season by selling Anthony Gordon and spending the profit on a striker this summer.

Now, Frank Lampard may need to take a significant risk over Anthony Gordon’s future at the club. [press conference](https://metro.co.uk/2022/08/19/frank-lampard-refuses-to-rule-out-anthony-gordon-everton-exit-amid-chelsea-links-17213036/) on Friday, responding to a question about whether the signing of a striker outweighs Gordon remaining: The Everton boss has also refused to rule out a deal being struck for Gordon in the final days of the transfer window, with Lampard taking to his pre-match The 21-year-old ace could be Everton’s ticket to solving their striker problem, as the money they could make on their rising star could outweigh his importance in the team as the Toffees become desperate for a prolific finisher to convert the chances being created with two big chances and 19 shots on goal against Forest alone. [more](https://www.sofascore.com/everton-nottingham-forest/osY) shots on goal and creating more big chances over the course of the game at Goodison Park on Saturday afternoon, yet again, Lampard’s side failed to take the game by the reins and deliver a crucial three points in their third game of the campaign with the need for a striker becoming even more glaringly obvious.

Football Insider has been told by Paul Robinson that James Tarkowksi and Conor Coady will be pivotal players for Everton both on and off the pitch.

“To have a character like Tarkowski in the dressing room is huge. “Conor Coady is also a massive signing for them. I think he’ll be a really big signing for them.

A journalist has tipped Everton to go back in for Paris Saint-Germain midfielder Idrissa Gueye, despite having already signed Amadou Onana this summer.

Gueye is apparently keen to go back to Everton as he will pick up more game time there than in the French capital. They hope to find a solution to the transfer impasse. Gueye is now 32 so needs to prioritise playing regularly if he is to remain at a high level for another three or four years. Gueye is low in the PSG pecking order due to the arrival of new boss Christophe Galtier. The two teams were originally in discussions over a loan move. And the Belgian had an eventful debut, to say the least.

Everton are reportedly preparing a swoop for Cody Gakpo, after a Toffees scout went to watch him play for PSV in a recent game.

The signing of Gakpo would be a big boost for Everton. What’s more, Everton will be keen on adding attacking threat to the side, following the sale of Richarlison. Indeed, a host of sides have been linked with a transfer for the Dutchman. Indeed, the report states that they sent a scout to watch him play against Rangers in the recent Champions League playoff.

Everton finally managed to score a goal themselves and were able to salvage a point through Demarai Gray's equaliser from yesterday's game against Forest.

Perhaps understandably looks well off the pace in English football and picked up a yellow card for a clumsy bit of play just moments after he came on. Maybe, the manager should look at giving Tom Cannon, who’s scoring goals for fun with the Under-21s, a chance from the bench. Plus, I don’t think he’s the answer long-term playing as a defensive or holding number six type. So, the question continues to be can Everton can find a way to bring in someone who can score goals this week? Again though, given the paucity of attacking options, why have both Lewis Dobbin and Ellis Simms been allowed to go on loan again? If Lampard continues with a three centre-back defence, I think the Blues’ need to find a way to play three in the middle, even if that mean only having two forwards in front of them.

Andy Gray has failed to come up with an argument to rubbish Richard Keys' prediction that Everton will struggle in the Premier League this season.

Everton were close to relegation last season and could be this term too due to the lack of quality in the squad and growing concerns over the management. Gray agreed and added: “But it’s a good result for Forest, a newly-promoted side going to Goodison, even though Everton are the way they are, that’s a point.” Keys continued, saying: “I think the bottom line is we saw two very ordinary teams head to head and they will be two of this season’s strugglers.”

Frank Lampard already looking frustrated with transfers between now and the September deadline likely to determine whether club stay up.

He’s come in and imposed himself on the squad which was expected, that’s what he does. “The character he’s got as well will be a huge loss inside that dressing room but, to be honest, we are just delighted to have him with us. “He’s an outstanding keeper and the saves he’s made are what he is in there for, his distribution was very good today, his character is huge, he has added a lot to the changing room and his performances at the start of the season have been of a real, real high standard.” [glaring area which Everton have yet to address](https://www.telegraph.co.uk/football/2022/08/14/everton-ramp-transfer-efforts-che-adams-top-wanted-list/), with the clock ticking and the club’s owners apparently in no rush to throw around the sort of money that Forest have since promotion. But if this is to be anything other than a season-long slog against relegation - something in which Everton were embroiled over most of the last campaign and from which they only removed themselves in the penultimate game - then a replacement for Richarlison is imperative. [Frank Lampard to add to his painfully under-resourced squad](https://www.telegraph.co.uk/football/2022/08/12/harsh-new-realities-mark-steven-gerrard-frank-lampards-first/), this does appear to be a period which will have a major say in Everton’s fate and their ability to continue a run of top-flight football that dates back to 1954.

According to The Telegraph, Manchester United are pursuing moves for both Cody Gakpo and Antony, in what could be good news for Everton.

Naturally, Everton will be hoping that United do indeed pursue Antony and in turn, leave them with a free run at signing Gakpo. [The Telegraph](https://www.telegraph.co.uk/football/2022/08/21/manchester-united-pressing-antony-cody-gakpo-bids-will-sign/), Manchester United are pursuing moves for both Cody Gakpo and Antony, in what could be good news for Everton. Of course, at around £34m, Gakpo is the cheaper option for Man United than Ajax’s Antony.

Everton are interested in signing PSV Eindhoven forward Cody Gakpo, but face stiff competition from Manchester United according to the Daily Mail.

It’s positive news for fans that they are identifying this calibre of player for the squad, but also a reality check knowing they’re unlikely to be able to bring him in. But with PSV likely to be in the Champions League next season, and Man United capable of offering Europa League football and huge wages it will be incredibly difficult for Everton to convince him to join in their current state. This is exactly the type of signing that Everton need to be making in the transfer window this summer, but it’s unlikely to happen.

Frank Lampard has made it clear to the Everton hierarchy he needs a striker before the end of the transfer window. Speaking after the game against ...

For some of the greatest players to expect them to be plundering goals at 21-22 is not always the norm. As Everton struggled to break through Forest on Saturday, Gordon fought hard to be the difference between the two sides but was repeatedly denied by Henderson. [We want to do some more](https://www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/frank-lampard-makes-everton-transfer-24808069). I don’t think we were going to take us from where we were last season to where we ultimately want to be in one window. Anthony has a lot of strings to his bow and the goalscoring one will come." We are trying to do it in a considered way. His comments followed a match in which Everton had 19 shots but needed Gray's 89th minute goal to rescue the club's first point of the season. Speaking after the friendly defeat to Minnesota United in July, the Blues boss highlighted his squad had a "void" in attacking options. The most frustrating part for me is that it has run so long into the season, when you’re trying to prepare for games and there is all talk all the time about ins and outs and players, it can have an affect. But a striker has not been acquired and Lampard has been further hindered by what he described as a "freak" knee injury to Dominic Calvert-Lewin just days before the start of the new Premier League campaign. Some of that starts with personnel. I’m happy with what we’ve done so far in the window for sure, in terms of some of the personnel, characters and quality that we brought in.

The highly-rated 21-year-old midfielder has attracted interest from Chelsea.

As a player, Lampard joined Chelsea at the age of 22 in 2001 and went on to become their record goalscorer over the course of a glittering 13-year spell with the London club.

Everton are ready to 'step up the interest' in Chelsea striker Michy Batshuayi, according to talkSPORT reporter Alex Crook.

He said: “Batshuayi has been mentioned to me with Everton as well.

Young Blues show great spirit, skill and teamwork to earn draw as striker shines again.

I want to really kick on now and I’m excited about what the future holds." The 3rd goal in this contest was only ever going to come from the home side and when Sean McAllister had his shot saved in the first minute of the second half we thought it was just a matter of time. “It means a lot to sign this new deal. A minute later and yes, you guessed it, the Blues pressure told as Whitaker played a neat short ball from the edge of the area into the path of Cannon and he blasted he ball home powerfully from 15 yards. On the evidence of this game some players have done themselves no harm at all! The Blues were consistently the better team in the second half whereas it had been more even in the first. They were not aggressive enough at this stage and some passive defending allowed a rather tame effort by Jurado from the edge of the area to find its way into the Blues net. At the head of the attack there’s a 19 year old striker with an explosive shot and a very explosive name that is doing damage to the opposition goal-nets this season. The pressing that United had shown at this stage was impressive but the Blues displayed a greater sense of urgency and physicality themselves in the remaining 20 minutes or so of the first half. To focus on one player after the performance tonight is unfair however, there was a real togetherness. Kyle John and Reece Welch were not decisive enough and a neat finish saw the United attacker Hansen-Aaroen lobbing the ball over Goalkeeper Zan-Luk Leban. There is no doubt though that the diamond that is within him is getting more polished each time he steps out at this level.

Alex Iwobi has expressed his delight after making his 100th appearance for Everton during Saturday's 1-1 draw with Nottingham Forest at Goodison Park.

“Some of the performances were very good and players like Tom Davies were integral in the way we were playing. “Those are the moments – when we were playing well and opening them up in that first 25 minutes – when it’s about getting that goal because then the game looks completely different.” “The movements of the back three and the angles of trying to play through, especially in the early parts of the game, were really good.

Iwobi made his 100th appearance for the Toffees in Saturday's Premier League clash with Nottingham Forest at the Goodison Park.

He made 149 appearances for the Gunners after he had graduated from the academy in North London. Honoured To Have Made 100 Appearances For The Blues “Honoured To Have Made 100 Appearances For The Blues #UpTheToffees ” He said after game via his Twitter handle.

Sleepless nights, continual pressure, do or die every game. And yet, perhaps Frank Lampard might miss the simplicity. Everton had to win, it didn't matter how, ...

If they are in no rush to return with a bid sufficient to prise the 21-year-old out of Goodison, and it would have to be above £50m, there are extra question marks hanging over the scale of the Merseysiders’ plans for what remains of this window. “The frustration is when you have 19 shots at home, you expect to score more than one goal. Sometimes you just need someone with a bit more composure to be clinical, and Demarai showed that.” It will continue to cost them. But supporters who fear a repeat of last term are just as galled by that side’s present lack of goal threat. It cost them against Forest. Speaking the day before Forest’s visit, Lampard suggested it was unfair to criticize the club for not yet filling that Brazilian-sized hole. The frustration was palpable.

Conor Coady addressed the improvements Frank Lampard is keen to make at Everton after his side's 1-1 draw with Nottingham Forest on Saturday.

"We are looking on improving, we are looking to get better. "At the same time, as I mentioned, we are improving as a team, there are a few new players in the squad, we are trying to learn a little bit of a different way. It’s a point, it’s a point on the board and we want to look back on this week as a big one to try to kick on now." It’s up to us to listen to the manager every day to get better. It’s important we keep on doing that. We need everybody on board with that, we need to do it as a team and get to that point. Everton have played the opening matches of the campaign without their main striker Dominic Calvert-Lewin, who continues to recover from injury. "We done that, midway through the first half when Forest had more of the ball. "Anyone watching the game would look at it and think we had a lot of chances, shots and different things. The centre-back insisted that there might need to be patience at some intervals in games, and he's looking forward to being able to kick on after a big week. Coady remarked: "To be honest with you, I thought we played really well. I thought we done that, I thought we done exactly what the gaffer wanted us to do.

This has to be very clear for everybody. "But if someone has to go away, along, another must come. The other key component for Gordon would be game time if he were to move from Everton. This squad is this, and if someone goes away, then another has to come. However, that does not include the unwanted quartet of Giovani Lo Celso and Tanguy Ndombele - now at Villarreal and Napoli, respectively, on loan - or Sergio Reguilon and Harry Winks. A graduate of Chelsea's Cobham academy, reports suggest that Chalobah has concerns over his game time in west London and fears that signing Fofana will block his pathway.
