Everton have emerged as favorites to sign Manchester United forward Anthony Elanga this summer.
Everton boss Sean Dyche is looking to strengthen his thin-looking squad this summer which produced only 37 league goals last season, the second-fewest of any team only behind Wolves.
Anthony Elanga set for move to Goodison Park?
According to Fabrizio Romano, the Toffee’s will hold direct talks with the Red Devils over a move for Elanga after the Swedish international saw his opportunities limited under Erik Ten Hag last season.

Many other clubs have shown an interest in Elanga since January but Everton have jumped to the front of the queue and are set to thrash out a deal in the coming days.
The 20-year-old’s highlight for the club came in the Champions League when he scored a crucial equalizer in a 1-1 draw against Atletico Madrid in February 2022 but has failed to kick on at Old Trafford since then and only made 16 Premier League appearances last term- without scoring.
