David Moyes did not hide his determination to reshape Everton Attack before Premier league The season starts.
His team looked flat throughout the Premier League summer series in the United States, undergoing defeats against Bournemouth and West Ham, as well as a draw against Manchester United.
With Jack Harrison and Jesper Lindstrom returning to their parents’ clubs, Moyes prioritized the signature of a new large player who can slip directly into his first eleven.
So far, there have been arrivals in other areas.
The loan of loan from Carlos Alcaraz de Flamengo was made permanentWhile the club also obtained the signing of 27 million pounds sterling from striker Thierno Barry de Villarreal – although Moyes warned that the attacker will need time to adapt.
In addition, the left back of Bayern Munich Adam Aznou joined An offer of 7.8 million pounds sterling.
However, Everton has also undergone frustration on the market. Kenny Tete renewed with FulhamWhile an offer for Malick Fofana from Lyon failed.
The talks for the real Sociedad Takefusa Kubo have been just as problematic, with its Liberation clause of 50 million pounds sterling Prove prohibitive. Everton also has showed an interest in Jack GrenishAlthough an agreement seems complicated at this stage.
In the midst of these challenges, a name has become a potentially transformative addition, to the two Tyler Dibling and Kiernan Dewsbury-HallWho could be on the way to the Merseyside, according to the most recent reports.
Zuriko Davitashvili, the 24-year-old Georgian winger currently playing for Saint-Etienne, quickly attracts attention.
As Idiman Ndima Before him, Davitashvili shone in Ligue 1 with his mixture of direct attack game and creative spark.
Last season he produced Nine goals and eight assists in 33 appearancesWhile also raising 46 caps and six goals for Georgia.
Analyst Ben Mattinson described it as a “Powerful finisher», A line that would certainly appeal to Moyes, who needs players capable of providing a final product.
Davitashvili can play on the left, right or in the middle, giving Everton the kind of versatility that they have been missing since the loss of Harrison and Lindstrom.
He is appreciated at About 12 million euros (10 million pounds sterling)According to football transfers, an Everton price could afford in a realistic way even in their financial constraints.
According to Foot MercatoThe tuffes are among those interested in taking a step, although Saint-Etienne declared it no for sale, frustrating the player, who would be determined to test himself at a higher level.
Rennes, Strasbourg, Seville and Mönchengladbach are also all credited of interest, but convincing Saint-Etienne to sell will take negotiations. If the toffs can do exactly that, they would be in a real treat …
Like Ndiaye, who came from Ligue 1 Marseille last summer in a move of 16.9 million pounds sterling And continued to contribute nine goals in the Premier League, Davitashvili seems ready for the style of counterattack of Moyes, with its ability to pass deeply and to create in restricted spaces.
The parallels between Davitashvili and Ndiaye are striking.
Both are left -handed who can also play in the center, and both have a proven Ligue 1 record.
Statistically, Davitashvili in fact exceeded the production of Ndiaye last season, recording 17 goal involvement (nine goals, eight assists) compared to the nine of Ndiaye.
When you dig in their figures, subtle differences emerge.
According to FbrefNdiaye offers more progressive races by 90 (3.19) and progressive passes by 90 (3.07) than Davitashvili (2,19 and 2.36 respectively), which suggests that Ndiaye is more dynamic in the progress of the game through third parties.
Davitashvili, on the other hand, is more a final-third contributor, offering higher shooting actions by 90 (3.85 against 2.41) and more shooting on the target by 90 (0.78 against 0.56).
Their final efficiency also varies. Ndiaye won 42.9% of her efforts on Target, compared to 35.3% for Davitashvili, although Davitashvili takes more blows.
Its success rate is slightly lower (78.6% against 81.8% of Ndiaye), which suggests more risks in its passing decisions.
In terms of defenders in UN-V-UN, Ndiaye again has the advantage with a success rate of 47.6% control, compared to 37.4% for Davitashvili.
Moyes can see Davitashvili as a player who completes, rather than directly, Ndiaye.
Where Ndiaye exceeds to progress the game through the third of the middle, Davitashvili could prosper in advanced areas, offering a clinical advantage in front of the goal and adding variety in the way Everton breaks down the teams.
His positional versatility, as well as proven history of score and assistance from wide positions, would make him an immediate competitor for a starting role.
The Everton recruitment team was responsible for identifying players who can adapt quickly, facing physical football and filling several shortcomings.
Davitashvili, with the same history of Ligue 1 as Ndiaye and a clear ambition to play at a higher level, corresponds to this brief.
If Everton can negotiate a way to pass the resistance of Saint-Etienne, it could happen to Goodison Park like another hidden gem, according to the traces of Ndiaye to help rebuild an attack that seriously needs fresh energy.
