That form has caught the eye of Toffees scouts who are keen to get him to Goodison Park in January.
Host Lineker, who used to play for Everton, mooted the possibility of him signing following the 2-1 defeat to Bournemouth.
Shearer liked the idea and said: "Half of the league need a goalscorer. There will be a few on the lookout for one of those.
