Everton are making a fresh move for Watford striker Joao Pedro today.

Despite the arrival of Neal Maupay from Brighton, Everton boss Frank Lampard is eager to further add to his attacking options.

Newcastle were also keen until signing Alexander Isak from Real Sociedad last week.

The Toon's last offer was worth £25m plus a further £5m in add-ons, but failed to reach conclusion.

The Daily Mail says Everton are desperate to add another forward before tomorrow's transfer deadline.

Pedro has drawn comparison with Richarlison whom Everton signed from Watford in 2018 for an initial £35m and sold this summer to Tottenham.
