David Moyes is considering a move for former Leicester City striker Jamie Vardy as Everton face a serious shortage of players, according to the English tabloid The Sun.
Moyes currently has only 18 players available to him, leaving Everton with what is described as an extremely difficult squad situation. That number is viewed as insufficient for the club to compete on equal terms with the leading sides in the Premier League.
The shortage has prompted consideration of an unexpected option: bringing in Vardy, a veteran of English football who is currently without a club. The report does not state that an agreement has been reached, or that formal negotiations are under way, but identifies the striker as a possible solution being examined by Moyes.
Vardy is available after the termination of his contract with Italian club Cremonese. His status as a free agent could make him an attractive option for Everton as they assess how to strengthen their squad.
The 38-year-old is best known for his time with Leicester City, where he helped the club achieve one of the most remarkable successes in Premier League history. He was part of the Leicester side that won the English top-flight title, establishing himself as one of the competition’s most recognisable strikers.
His possible arrival at Everton would represent an unexpected move involving a player with extensive experience at the highest level of English football. However, the information reported so far concerns only Moyes’s interest in the idea rather than a confirmed offer or completed transfer.
For the moment, the main factor behind Everton’s consideration is the limited number of players available to Moyes. With only 18 footballers remaining in his squad, the manager is facing a problem that could affect the club’s ability to compete against the Premier League’s strongest teams.
The possibility of inviting Vardy to join Everton has been raised by The Sun, with the striker’s availability making him a potential candidate during a difficult period for the club’s squad. His previous success with Leicester City and his experience in English football are the principal factors connected with the proposal.
No further details about the potential move have been provided. Vardy remains a free agent following his departure from Cremonese, while Moyes continues to deal with Everton’s depleted playing group.
