According to The Friedkin Group’s (TFG) bid to bolster his team, David Moyes is already likely to lose out on one of his Everton transfer targets.

Dominic Calvert-Lewin returned to his peak with a goal as Moyes finally got the most out of the Blues’ assault.

The Scottish boss has some hope in the relegation struggle since Iliman Ndiaye has been among the

Merseyside team’s top performers this season.

However, the Toffees needed more quality down the right side, and a winter transfer window attempt to sign

Ernest Nuamah of Olympique Lyon was imminent after a deal was apparently already completed [Fabrice Hawkins, 16 January].

Zenit Saint Petersburg’s offer of around £28 million for Botafogo striker

Luiz Henrique has been approved by John Textor [L’Equipe, 19 January].

Given that they won’t have a successor for Nuamah should he go,

Eagle Football Holdings may now choose to cling onto him at Lyon.

With Lyon receiving the majority of the above sale proceeds,

Everton may potentially miss out on the 21-year-old Ghanaian winger and must focus on other prospects.

For the right-hand side of the attack, Moyes has Jesper Lindstrom and Jack Harrison at his disposal,

although they haven’t performed well this season.

Even though the Toffees defeated Tottenham, the Merseyside team still faces the prospect of relegation to the Championship.

the Friedkins will want to give the Scottish manager the best chance to stay in the Premier League.

It’s unclear what the recruitment team will do in the event that Nuamah deals them a transfer blow.
