Thierno Barry will sign a four-year contract with Everton, replacing Dominic Calvert-Lewin who left the club after his contract expired. Barry is part of an elite group of young players who have scored 10 or more goals in Europe's top five leagues this season. Other notable players in this group include Benjamin Sesko from RB Leipzig, Bradley Barcola from Paris St-Germain, and Hugo Ekitike from Eintracht Frankfurt, who are all highly sought after by top European clubs.
David Moyes, the Everton manager, is overseeing a major overhaul of the squad this summer, and Thierno Barry seems like the perfect option to lead the team's front line. The club is also linked to other talented players, including Ben Doak from Liverpool and Jack Grealish from Manchester City. However, Thierno Barry's move to Everton has not been officially confirmed by the club yet.
Journalist Fabrizio Romano has reported that Everton has prepared all the necessary documents for Thierno Barry's transfer from Villarreal, and the agreement is confirmed. It appears that Thierno Barry will be the new striker for David Moyes at Everton.
