Everton have already had a very busy transfer window, with eight new signings coming in for over £100m, including the eye-catching loan signing of winger Jack Grealish from Manchester City.

It comes after 11 first-team players left the club in the summer, including those who were on loan with the Toffees last season.

Sources have told BBC Sport there may well be further activity before the deadline and manager David Moyes has spoken openly about needing defensive reinforcements.

A new right-back will be high on the list, allowing Nathan Patterson to possibly depart on loan to Sevilla, while there is also a need for a centre-back following the hamstring injury picked up by key defender Jarrad Branthwaite.

Tyler Dibling fills the hole on the right wing, but a new central midfielder may also come in to boost the numbers.

There is interest from Scottish Premiership side Rangers in signing Toffees striker Youssef Chermiti on loan, so it remains to be seen whether that gets done before the 19:00 BST cut-off.
