Everton will be plotting any late moves they can make in the final day of this summer’s transfer window.
David Moyes and Angus Kinnear will have set up base inside Finch Farm with the transfer deadline shutting at 7pm on Monday evening.
It has been a busy summer for Everton, with considerable player turnover seen across the squad.
Moyes has pushed for nine or 10 new signings, having already seen eight new faces come through the doors on Merseyside.
The early signs of Everton’s summer business have been positive, with Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall receiving praise over the weekend following his first goal for the club.
More could still be done, though, as Everton eye a new right-back and midfielder in these final hours.
With the clock ticking, Alan Myers has shared his expectations for deadline day at Everton.
Everton could bring in two loan additions on deadline day
After signing him on an initial loan basis, Jack Grealish has hit the ground running at Everton, having added another two assists on Saturday.
The loan market could provide a big opportunity for Kinnear in these final hours.
Taking to social media, Myers has suggested there could even be a couple of loan signings made before the window shuts tonight.
“We’ve got more than that but I can see a couple, based on needing them,” he responded when asked whether Everton have three loan spots left.
Last season, Everton’s loan signings did not really work out, barring the addition of Carlos Alcaraz.
His stay has now been made permanent, with Alcaraz scoring a stunning strike against Mansfield Town last week.
Grealish has shown the power of a positive loan deal, and this should be something that Everton look to replicate in the dying hours of the market.
Everton need some late business boosts
Following the opening day defeat, the signs have been really positive for Everton this season.
Adding players on deadline day would provide a huge boost for the club with a big season potentially ahead.
David Moyes has targeted a European finish this season, and the 62-year-old doubled down on his target at the weekend.
“I think a club like Everton, we always want to be challenging for Europe,” the Scotsman said.
“Don’t know if we are good enough to do that, we haven’t been over recent years, but there is no point in me coming on here and saying we want to avoid relegation.”
A lot will have to go in Everton’s favour to achieve that, but landing some further quality on deadline day would go a long way towards it.
