Everton picked up their first victory of the season on Sunday, with three points secured over Brighton & Hove Albion.

David Moyes will certainly feel some relief in getting some points on the board, but also winning the first game at the Hill Dickinson Stadium.

The scoreline suggested a fairly straightforward afternoon for Everton, who saw Jordan Pickford keep Brighton out from a spot kick.

Now, it is time for Everton to get to work in the market, with Wayne Rooney urging Everton to make three more signings.

Everton are closing in on Tyler Dibling, with the youngster all set to undergo his medical on Monday.

However, there is one target who looks set to join Leeds United, after a deal was agreed for his signature.

Leeds United agree deal to sign Everton target James Justin

In recent weeks, Everton have shown an interest in James Justin, with Leicester City keen to move the right-back on this summer.

This is a position of need for the Blues, with Everton already experiencing some issues at right-back.

But Sky Sports have reported a deal struck between the Foxes and Leeds United for the right-back.

It is believed Leeds will be paying a total fee of £10m, which will be £8m up front and a potential further £2m in add-ons.

With a deal now in place, the right-back will be set to travel to Yorkshire to complete his switch, as Everton will have to look elsewhere.

It had been suggested that Everton could land the ‘outstanding’ Justin for just £6m this summer, with Leicester offering the player around to other clubs.

So, it would seem as if Leeds may be slightly overpaying for the defender, with the total package almost double the original fee suggested.

Everton are in desperate need of a new right-back

The options at right-back are already being stretched within the first couple of games in the new campaign.

Jake O’Brien has featured back on the right, despite Moyes claiming O’Brien would return to centre-back this season.

That only goes to show the lack of squad depth that Everton still have in certain areas of the pitch.

Nathan Patterson has now returned to training, but the Scot has not been a reliable option since making the move to Merseyside.

Missing out on Kenny Tete is coming back to haunt Everton already, but the Blues still have time to land themselves a new right-back.
