Everton<\/a> have given their supporters a welcome surprise after emerging from the opening weeks of the Premier League season without a defeat.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Expectations were hardly soaring when the summer transfer window closed.<\/p>\n

David Moyes<\/a> had strengthened parts of his squad, but Everton\u2019s failure to land another proven centre forward left a clear hole in the group.<\/p>\n

However, that disappointment has not prevented the Toffees from making a highly encouraging start.<\/p>\n

A 2-0 home win over Crystal Palace set the tone before Everton collected a point from a 1-1 draw at Bournemouth. They then fought out a lively 2-2 game with Man United and held Tottenham to a goalless draw in north London.<\/p>\n

Six points from four matches may not look spectacular on its own, but the wider picture is far more positive.<\/p>\n

Everton have conceded only three league goals, sit ninth and remain one of just a handful of unbeaten sides.<\/p>\n

They have also shown different qualities along the way. There was control against Palace, resilience on the road and enough discipline to shut out Spurs.<\/p>\n

Moyes deserves credit for creating a side which already looks organised and difficult to beat. That said, the early results have not completely removed the questions surrounding Everton\u2019s attack.<\/p>\n

The Toffees have scored five league goals, while three draws underline how useful another clinical forward could be when tight matches need to be turned in their favour.<\/p>\n

That is why the latest update concerning Mauro Icardi will attract attention on Merseyside.<\/p>\n

Sport Witness, relaying information from Argentine newspaper Ol\u00e9<\/a>, reports that Everton remain a possible destination for the free agent after repeated links<\/a> earlier this month.<\/p>\n

That claim offers a different reading of the situation to recent reports from Italy, where it had been suggested Everton had stepped away after being offered the former PSG striker.<\/p>\n

There is no indication that the Toffees have submitted a fresh proposal or reopened formal negotiations. However, the Argentine reports have continued to include Everton among Icardi\u2019s remaining options.<\/p>\n

A possible move to Lazio is now said to have fallen apart.<\/p>\n

Icardi had reportedly placed considerable importance on joining a club in the Champions League, but Lazio eventually moved for Andrea Pinamonti instead.<\/p>\n

Everton cannot offer European football this season, meaning Icardi, now 33, may need to adjust his expectations if he is to consider a move to Hill Dickinson Stadium.<\/p>\n

The striker would nevertheless bring a level of pedigree which is currently missing from Moyes\u2019 attacking options, having represented Inter, PSG and Galatasaray, scoring regularly in Italy, France and Turkey.<\/p>\n

Ex-Gala boss Okan Buruk<\/a> also branded Icardi a ‘football icon’ after his final season in the S\u00fcper Lig.<\/p>\n

As a free agent, Icardi can still join a club despite the closure of the English transfer window.<\/p>\n

Any Everton move would have to make financial sense, particularly given the wages and signing payment a player of his profile could demand.<\/p>\n

For now, this remains a possibility rather than an active deal.<\/p>\n
