Everton<\/a> and Aston Villa are keen on signing a Championship forward this summer, and his club are now willing to sanction a move.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n It has been a very disappointing end to the season for the Toffees, falling out of European contention after failing to win any of their last six matches, and David Moyes<\/a> criticised Iliman Ndiaye<\/a> and Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall after the 3-1 defeat against Sunderland last time out.<\/p>\n \u201cI think Ili especially has had big opportunities in a few of the games, which in the past we\u2019ve seen him score. he scored a great goal against Chelsea here. But since then, we\u2019ve had quite a lot of opportunities in games and we\u2019ve not been able to take them to win games, which we\u2019ve needed.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n \u201cAs you know, we\u2019ve not been overly generous with our centre-forward goals so, it\u2019s been Kiernan and Iliman who\u2019ve been required to step up for us mainly. Both have sort of just dried up in the last month or so.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/section>\n Ndiaye is without a Premier League<\/a> goal since the 3-0 victory against Chelsea at the back end of March, whereas Dewsbury-Hall hasn’t been able to register a goal or an assist in his last three matches.<\/p>\n As such, Moyes may need some more attacking firepower if his side are going to sustain a push for Europe next season, and a Championship forward has now emerged as a summer target.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n According to a report from Sports Boom, Everton are now keen on signing Leicester City star Abdul Fatawu<\/a>, who is also attracting interest from Premier League rivals Aston Villa and Fulham, alongside a number of clubs from across Europe.<\/p>\n However, Fatawu wants to remain in England, and a deal wouldn’t break the bank, with Leicester aware they have to cash-in after being relegated from the Championship, and a \u00a320m<\/a> transfer fee has been touted.<\/p>\n Despite the Foxes dropping to the third tier after a dismal campaign, journalist Bence Bocsak<\/a> has suggested the right-winger is good enough to make the step-up to the Premier League, saying: “Abdul Fatawu has an incredible ability to score absolute world-class goals.<\/em><\/p>\n “Such an entertaining footballer. Far too good to be playing in the Championship.”<\/em><\/p>\n Earlier this season, the 22-year-old scored a remarkable goal from distance in his side’s 3-1 victory against Ipswich Town.<\/p>\n Throughout his time at Leicester, Fatawu has remained a reliable source of goals and assists, amassing 39 goal involvements in 100 appearances, and he could be an exciting signing for Everton.<\/p>\n Read next: Everton make approach to sign Iliman Ndiaye replacement<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n Toffees eyeing new forward after Moyes takes aim at Ndiaye<\/strong>
