Everton are now moving to sign Watford striker Joao Pedro after the draw to Leeds, with the Daily Mail reporting that he could follow Neal Maupay to Goodison Park.

The Toffees wrapped up a deal for Maupay last week as Frank Lampard bolstered his attacking options.

Lampard was handed a significant blow after Dominic Calvert-Lewin was ruled out of their opening Premier League fixtures.

Everton have moved to strengthen their depth in the position since but it seems that they are not done yet.

Lampard’s men could now move for the ‘incredible’ Pedro before tomorrow’s deadline.

Everton now moving to sign Pedro

The Daily Mail reports that Everton have now revived their interest in Pedro and are moving to sign him.

Newcastle United have been linked with a move for the 20-year-old but the Toffees asked about the player last week.

The Magpies did not push the button on a £30 million deal for the player and have since signed Alexander Isak.

And Everton are keen to land another striker after the signing of Maupay last week.

The Toffees have concerns that the player is still raw but insiders at Watford believe Pedro can be even better than former Everton man Richarlison.

Newcastle could revive their interest yet but it seems unlikely after snapping up Isak last week.

Pedro has been brilliant for Watford so far this season and showed plenty of promise in the Premier League during the last campaign.

The Brazilian has already provided two goals and two assists in just six games for the Hornets this season.

Lampard has been in the market for a Richarlison replacement and the Watford man could be the ideal fit.

Pedro can play off the left-hand side and as a striker, similar to what Richarlison provided at Goodison Park.

At just 20, Pedro is still young but has shown he is capable of playing in the Premier League.
