'Attacker primed for here and now' - Everton's shopping list

Two wins on the spin. Two types of victories. This football lark is easy - well kind of.

David Moyes appears to have the Midas touch, after Everton followed up last weekend's front-footed win over Tottenham, with a hard-fought, ground-out triumph at Amex Stadium.

The manner of the wins is not important. It was another huge step towards safety and has somewhat relieved the pressure.

The win came at a huge cost, however, with what look to be long-term injuries sustained by both Dominic Calvert-Lewin and Orel Mangala.

Both players are immensely important, but especially in Calvert-Lewin's case as his only current fit deputy is Beto - a player full of verve and vigour, but lacking technically.

Afterwards, Moyes alluded to his plans for the final week of the transfer window now changing. If a new striker was not at the top of the list, it is now imperative that one is.

Goals have been at a premium for the majority of the season and, given the increased attacking intent of Moyes' side, a forward who is primed for the here and now is a must.

Even with Mangala's injury, central midfield is slightly less of an issue, given the return of both James Garner and Tim Iroegbunam.

Both will have a significant task filling the Belgian's boots as he has been one of few standouts this season. However, they are both certainly more than capable.

The manager was always keen to add to an already stretched squad.

In order to keep the wolves from the door and continue our upward trajectory, I am expecting a busy end to the window for us.

Hopefully.
