Everton have added Burnley winger Loum Tchaouna to their summer transfer watchlist after sending a scout to see him in last Sunday’s 2-2 draw with Aston Villa. The 22-year-old played the full 90 minutes and gave the visiting observer a busy evening to review.
Tchaouna had three shots, one on target, created one big chance and made two key passes without scoring or assisting as Burnley earned a point. He is one of the latest attacking names to emerge as Everton continue to plan for the summer window, with David Moyes looking to add reinforcements up front and out wide.
The match offered a useful snapshot of why the winger has started to draw attention. He is left-footed, likes to shoot from distance, can play the ball off the ground and is comfortable doing layoffs, while his direct free-kicks also stand out as a threat. He can also play long balls, and Everton could view him as a squad option capable of operating on either flank.
His season figures suggest a player still being shaped but already producing enough to get noticed. Tchaouna has made 27 appearances for Burnley, started 12 matches and logged 1,159 minutes, scoring two goals from an expected-goals total of 1.20. He has averaged 0.8 shots per game, posted 75% passing accuracy and created 0.4 key passes per match.
That profile helps explain the interest, but it also frames the limitation. Tchaouna is not arriving with the numbers of a finished Premier League starter, and Everton’s interest appears to fit the search for depth rather than a guaranteed first-choice signing. With Burnley set to be in the Championship next season, the situation gives Everton a chance to study the winger closely before any move becomes more serious.
The next question is not whether Everton have noticed him. It is whether the club decide that a 22-year-old with set-piece quality, range on both flanks and a modest output is the kind of addition worth pressing for before the market opens in earnest.
