​Everton in advanced talks to sign Brighton striker Maupay

Everton are in advanced talks to sign Neal Maupay from Brighton.

The Toffees have emerged as a surprise destination for the Albion striker in recent days.

The 26-year-old seemed set for Fulham earlier in the week, but Everton boss Frank Lampard has swooped to solve his forward crisis.

According to Sky Sports, Everton are hopeful they can get a deal done in the next few days.

They are also being linked with Che Adams of Southampton, although the Saints are not eager to part with the forward on a loan or for a low fee.

Maupay netted eight goals for Brighton last season, but has lost his spot to Danny Welbeck in the team so far this season.
