Tenuous link, possibly.
Can't say I remember the gentleman.
Josh??
I remember him scoring an equaliser against us for Everton, the season we were relegated.
Looking back at the dates, it was the year Big Sam was in charge of Everton, so that would be the link comes from. He actually registered 8 Premier League goals from 22 games that season. Bizarrely in his other 3 seasons at Everton he didn't register a single goal. He had a couple of loan spells, firstly to Hull (prior to the season he scored against us) and in 2019 in Cardiff. I remember him doing well at Hull, despite them being relegated, which is probably why he was given his chance at Everton the following season. However, I don't remember him at Cardiff at all. He didn't score a goal for them looking at the stats.
Given he hasn't scored a goal since that season he netted for Everton against us and has been without a club for 6 months, I'd be surprised if he's up to the task of playing in the Premier League now.
As a free agent, Sam could easily invite him down to take a look at him anyway. My memory of him at Hull was that he was a grafter, strong and capable of poaching a goal in and around the box with feet or head.
Sounds like the new Victor Anichebe
Did Anichebe ever hit the dizzy heights of 8 goals a season?
