This moved the Toffees four points clear of the relegation zone, which they desperately needed to retain Premier League Status, before moving to their new stadium at Bramley-Moore Dock in the summer.

As Moyes seeks to form a team strong enough to survive comfortably, now is his chance to bring in new players. Could the Blues sign the multiple Premier League title winner on a free transfer?

Everton is looking to add a new winger

According to a report by L Matt Law for the Telegraph Last week, Everton were 'offered' the chance to sign Willian This month.

The winger joined 47-time Greek champions Olympiacos, a record, last September and has been paid a fee It was reported that £100,000 per week In Piraeus, but only made 11 appearances For the red and whites, they didn't score any goals, that's why they did it Keen to finish his one-year contract Only halfway through, making him a free agent as of New Year's Eve.

Willian is best known for his time in… ChelseaHe scored 63 goals and provided 57 assists in 339 matches, having arrived from Anzhi Makhachkala for a period Reported £32 million In 2013, he won two Premier League titles, the FA Cup, the League Cup and the Europa League.

It's fair to say that Brazilian A Favorite number At the Blues, but the same cannot be said for their London rivals Arsenal.

Upon the expiration of his contract in 2020, Willian joined the Gunners on a free transfer, but only scored twice. One goal in 37 matchesWith the journalist Phil Costa on Twitter He described him as “one of the worst professionals” in Arsenal's history, while former striker John Hartson described him as “one of the worst professionals” in Arsenal's history He added He contributed “absolutely nothing” during his time at the club.

After a short spell in Brazil with Corinthians, Short cut after receipt Countless death threats from angry fans, he returned to English football with Fulham, and is arguably more popular at Craven Cottage than at Highbury.

How can Willian help Everton?

Willian got it Ten goals For the benefit of the Cottagers, most notably his goal against his former team in the famous West London derby win, The BBC's football focus was revealed next That his daughters were sad because they both “love Chelsea.”

talk on Sky Sports Monday Night Football Earlier this month, Fulham captain Tom Cairney believed Willian is the best player he has ever played with, claiming the Brazilian is one of the most “underrated” players in Premier League history, adding that he doesn't… For the “recognition he deserves”. He deserves”.

Thus, Fulham fans were upset to see the Brazilian leave last summer, showing that there is still a quality player out there somewhere, even if Arsenal supporters don't believe you, suggesting that Everton should take the plunge.

Even after scoring the three goals on Sunday, First time The Toffees have scored multiple goals from open play in the same game all season Second place down Premier League for both goals scored (18) and goals expected (21.1).

Hence, Moyes certainly needs some attacking help, so could Willian have a similar impact at Goodison as James Rodriguez?

Another big name who has earned big money after an illustrious career in Europe, the Colombian spent just one season on Merseyside, but has scored six goals and collected eight assists, helping them reach the top ten in 2020/21, and they are yet to finish higher than fifteenth. that, He becomes a cult heroalthough only played behind closed doors.

Could Willian do something similar? Let's compare the Brazilian's time at Fulham to the Colombian's time with Everton.

Given that Willian spent two seasons at Fulham, while Rodriguez spent only one season at Everton, the latter provides a very small sample size, so we are evaluating the statistics on a per-90 basis.

In short, the duo are very similar in many metrics, including shots taken and pass completion percentage.

Despite this, James has been a far greater goal threat, although he has significantly outperformed his xG during his time at Goodison, which is clearly impressive, if not overly sustainable.

Meanwhile, Willian ranks higher when it comes to dribbles and shooting movements, suggesting he can certainly add something extra to Everton's attack; For Boseman, he could be the low-cost, low-risk signing they are looking for.
