- Loum Tchaouna has scored 2 goals in 27 appearances this season for Burnley
- Everton are reportedly interested in the French winger
- The wide man was watched by Everton scouts during Burnley’s 2-2 against Aston Villa
Everton are continuing to plan for the summer transfer window, with attacking reinforcements on David Moyes’ list. Many names have been mentioned.
The latest name to emerge is Burnley winger Loum Tchaouna.
According to Football Insider, the Toffees sent a scout to watch the 22‑year‑old in action last Sunday during Burnley’s 2‑2 draw against Aston Villa. The French wide man could be an excellent squad option for Moyes as Everton prepares for a potential busy summer transfer window.
Scouting mission against Aston Villa
The match at Turf Moor gave Everton representatives a chance to assess Loum Tchaouna against Aston Villa. The winger played the full 90 minutes and put in a lively performance. He had three shots of which one was on target, created one big chance and made two key passes in the game. He had a decent evening for the relegated Burnley side, drawing attention from Everton.
While he did not register a goal or assist, his willingness to take on defenders was evident, with his involvement notable on the Burnley wing.
What would Loum Tchaouna bring to Everton?
This season, Loum Tchaouna has made 27 appearances for Burnley, starting 12 and logging 1,159 minutes. He has scored two goals from an Expected Goals (xG) of 1.20, averaging 0.8 shots per game. His passing accuracy stands at 75%, with 0.4 key passes per match. While his output has been modest, his numbers suggest untapped potential.
Loum Tchaouna is described as a player who likes to shoot from distance, play the ball off the ground, do layoffs and pose an indirect set‑piece threat. He also likes to play long balls. His standout strength is direct free‑kicks. He is left‑footed and has shown he can be a threat from dead‑ball situations.
For Everton, adding a young, energetic winger who can operate on either flank would provide decent squad depth. Tchaouna might not be a guaranteed starter at Everton but his pace, ability to take on defenders and decent set‑piece ability could make him a useful option.
At just 22, he fits the profile of a player who can develop under David Moyes. With Burnley set to be in the Championship next season, a reasonable bid may be enough to prize him away from Turf Moor. If the Toffees secure European football, the need for squad rotation makes Loum Tchaouna a sensible, low‑risk option to invest.
