Everton enter the race to sign Blackburn Rovers striker Adam Armstrong

Everton are lining up a possible move for Blackburn Rovers striker Adam Armstrong this summer, Football Insider reports.

Armstrong is having his best-ever season with the Rovers this term with 20 goals in 37 appearances across all competitions.

Since the start of last season, he has 37 goals from 87 outings, and his progress appears to have caught Everton’s attention.

It is reported that Toffees scouts kept a close watch on the 24-year-old during the Rovers’ 2-0 league defeat to Bournemouth on Monday where he missed a penalty.

Dominic Calvert-Lewin has been their undisputed first-choice striker this term with 19 goals, but the club have lacked a quality deputy.
