Moyes shared his thoughts on the potential signing after the team's preseason friendly loss to Bournemouth. "We have made an offer," he said. "Whether it's accepted and whether everything is finalized, we'll see. However, Aznou is a young player with great potential and we believe he could have a bright future with our team."

Everton has been actively signing new players this transfer window. The team has already brought in goalkeeper Mark Travers, made midfielder Carlos Alcaraz's loan move permanent, and signed French striker Thierno Barry for £27m.

Moyes acknowledged that while they have signed three new players, the team still needs to strengthen its squad. "We've signed three players, which takes us off the list, but we still need to sign maybe five or six more players," he said. "This is a challenging window for us, as we need to sign a significant number of players in a short period."
