00:01Everton are reportedly considering a summer move to sign Crescente Somerville from West Ham
00:07as they plan for life beyond Jack Grealish.
00:10With the Toffees sitting just five points outside the top five in their first season at the Hill Dickinson Stadium,
00:16manager David Moyes is looking to strengthen the squad for a sustained push towards European qualification next year.
00:27Somerville, lauded as incredible by Alan Shearer, has impressed since returning from injury,
00:32scoring seven goals and providing one assist in all competitions.
00:36His form was attracted attention amid West Ham's struggles in the relegation zone,
00:41with Premier League clubs circling their standout performers in anticipation of a potential exodus.
00:48Reports suggest West Ham would not block a move if the club fails to avoid the drop,
00:52and Somerville himself may seek assurance about the stability of his next club.
00:58Everton's interest in the Dutch forward comes as Grealish, currently on loan from Manchester City,
01:03faces uncertainty in his season-ending foot injury in January.
01:07Combined with the wage constraints in the final year of his City contract,
01:11scoring Somerville would offer Everton pace, creativity and a key goal threat,
01:16providing cover for Grealish's departure.
01:18If so, and with eight games remaining, the club are eyeing that move
01:23that could underpin both their European ambitions and long-term squad planning.
