Everton should consider joining the race to sign Kasper Dolberg.

According to Calciomercato, both West Ham United and Southampton are keen on the Danish international.

Dolberg is considered one of the brightest young talents in Holland, having established himself as a real goalscorer since bursting onto the scene in 2016.

In 103 first-team appearances for Ajax, Dolberg has scored an impressive 42 goals.

Still only 21, the striker has already featured in a Europa League final against Manchester United and amassed 10 caps for his country.

He is yet another player at the Dutch giants considered hot property, and Everton should perhaps be thinking about joining the hunt this summer.

The goalscorer they lack?

Marco Silva has had trouble settling on one player to lead the line in his first season in charge at Goodison Park.

Cenk Tosun and Dominic Calvert-Lewin have failed to convince, while Oumar Niasse has been loaned out to Cardiff City with there being an option to make it permanent.

Winger Richarlison has been shoehorned up top but after a bright start he has faded like a lot of his teammates.

The Brazilian is more much effective from out wide and not the long-term answer to the problem.

Although young Dolberg would be a risk, he has shown a real capability of sticking the ball in the back of the net. He’s managed nine goals this term from just 11 appearances having been injured.

He is physically very impressive and also technically gifted. He could be the focal point the Toffees are in need of.
