Everton finds itself in urgent need of attacking reinforcements and has been offered the chance to sign Anthony Martial, a former forward for Manchester United. This opportunity arises after a disastrous summer transfer window that left the club scrambling for options.

According to talkSPORT, representatives for Martial have reached out to Everton regarding a potential move to Goodison Park. The 30-year-old Frenchman is currently a free agent, allowing Everton to sign him despite the closure of the summer transfer window.

Martial's career took a turn earlier this year when he became unattached after his stint with Monterrey ended, where he managed only one goal in 20 appearances. Nevertheless, he possesses extensive Premier League experience, having scored 63 goals in 209 appearances for Manchester United. Given Everton's current limitations in attacking options, his experience could prove beneficial.

While discussions are still in the exploratory phase with no agreement finalized, Everton is actively seeking solutions. The urgency intensified after a chaotic end to their summer transfer dealings, which included:

• The sanctioned move of Beto to Fiorentina.
• A failed attempt to secure Folarin Balogun from Monaco.
• A rejected late loan inquiry for Joshua Zirkzee from Manchester United.

With only summer signing Thierno Barry as the recognized senior center-forward, Everton is now looking to the free-agent market for an emergency solution.
