Everton has been linked to a potential transfer from Mirwall striker Michello Ivanovic. The social media account of

Milwall Club describes itself as "a unique club." More than 20 years ago, after going from here to the most explosive cheap treasure in his coaching career, David Moyes may now return to this "liu's den" and discover the next piece of uncensored jade.

Time goes back to the summer of 2004, and Everton, the "Blue Army" at that time, was still sighing for losing the most talented youth training product in team history - Wayne Rooney. In order to enhance the team's firepower, Moyes turned his attention to a high-profile hope star who followed Millwall to the FA Cup final in the Championship.

He is Tim Cahill. At the time, he had spent six full seasons in South London, amassing 249 appearances and 56 goals, and scored in double goals in four of the past five seasons. This Scottish coach saw great potential in him.

After completing the transfer at a low price of £1.5 million, the Australian international helped the team to finish fourth in the Premier League in his debut season at Everton - still the club's highest ranking in the Premier League. By the time he bid farewell to Goodison Park in 2012, he had played 278 times for the team and scored 68 goals, five of which were scored in the hot Merseyside derby.

Twenty-one years passed by, and now, Moyes, who regained the Everton coaching seal, is connecting with another Mirwall striker, Michello Ivanovic. According to Goodison News, the "Blue Army" is eager to sign the young shooter who has attracted the interest of several Premier League clubs.

Ivanovic was born in Novi Sad, Serbia on November 29, 2004 - just the day before, Cahill just drew 1-1 with Newcastle United for Everton. Ivanovic scored 10 goals in 48 games for his parent team Vojvodina. Later, he was loaned to Sampdoria in Serie A, but in that season, he only got 3 minutes of substitute time at the end of the team's last game of losing to Napoli 0-2, and the team was unfortunately relegated as the bottom. Because of this, when Millwall brought him to the team for £2.8 million on August 30 last year, it once attracted doubts from the outside world.

However, the center, who is 1.88 meters tall, quickly proved himself. He made his debut in the match against Denmark on November 18 last year and made his debut in the Serbian national team. In his first season in England, he scored 13 goals in 40 games for Millwall, of which 12 were from the Championship. At the end of the season, he was in a hot state, scoring 7 goals in his last 9 appearances.

team coach Alex Neal was obviously impressed by him. In the 2-1 home victory over Portsmouth on April 5, Ivanovic scored twice - in this game, he appeared more in the attacking midfielder than in the front, which is quite similar to Cahill's role back then. After the game, his head coach praised in an interview with The Nationals: "Any 20-year-old can be the main striker in the Championship and scored almost 10 goals - he will definitely score doubles at the end of the season - this is an incredible season, and I wouldn't be surprised if people started talking about him."

"I saw reports a few days ago that he is one of the top ten young talents in Europe."

"He is only 20 years old, and at this level, few forwards of this age can both play the main and score goals, so he deserves all the praise he has received." An interesting aspect of the game in Ivan Norwich is his comparison with Everton's current center Levin and Beto. Data shows that in the 2024/25 season, Lewin (3.28 per game) and Beto (3.04 per game) were one of the strikers that won the most aerial confrontations in the Premier League. But in the Championship, the young Serbian surpassed the two of them with an astonishing 3.71 times per game.
