Everton endured a notoriously disappointing January transfer window, in which they afforded Frank Lampard the majority of the month before eventually dismissing him.

Then, appointing Sean Dyche with little time left, he was forced to scramble for deadline-day deals, all of which fell through.

It marked yet another embarrassing chapter in Farhad Moshiri's legacy, who continues to bewilder fans with his decision-making as each season passes.

One of the targets the former Burnley boss and Kevin Thelwell were reportedly keen on was Sheraldo Becker of Union Berlin; a move which obviously did not come to fruition. 

This season has seen the forward star for a Bundesliga outfit truly upsetting the apple cart. He is an important cog in a magnificent story, and it will be interesting to see how their season plays out as they vie for the title.

However, once that campaign concludes, it seems like the Toffees are set to reignite their interest, as per journalist Christian Falk, speaking to CaughtOffside last week. With only a reported €15m (£13m) valuation placed upon him, this could mark a huge coup too.

They are set to battle with another Premier League club in West Ham, and should they secure his signature, he would surely prove to be a fine partner for Dominic Calvert-Lewin up front.

Sean Dyche's philosophy is hardly a complicated one, with a solid 4-4-2 formation at its core. As such, he requires two quality forwards who are willing to put the work in.

The English marksman boasts speed and power, but Becker could offer more of a creative foil who can feed off the chaos that his physicality causes.

Having already scored seven times and assisted a further four in the league, the 27-year-old has starred as more of a shadow striker playing off a teammate. His experience in Germany in such a role already makes him a good match for this Everton side.

Not only this, but his ability to drop deeper and create makes him an unusual asset who is hard for the opposition to track. His varied skillset was outlined best by journalist Josh Bunting, who claimed: "Sheraldo Becker in this team just fits perfectly, not just clinical but he’s also creative."

As such, his 7.16 average rating for the season is underpinned by 1.4 key passes per game and a 21% goal conversion rate, via Sofascore).

Should Calvert-Lewin regain his fitness and recapture his goalscoring form of old, the two could prove to be a formidable strike partnership for any defence. Despite his injury concerns, he has remained in the top 4% for aerials won when compared to other forwards across Europe.

His form of the 2020/21 season also remains fresh in the memories of supporters too, as he notched 16 goals in 33 league games.

Should Dyche mastermind their survival and then tempt Becker to Goodison Park, it could be a truly outstanding signing to propel them way up the table.
