Everton are looking for any late deals they can find ahead of Monday’s transfer deadline.

No new signings have been announced at Everton this year with the Friedkins left working late into the final hours.

David Moyes is pushing the Everton owners to sign players with his options depleted through injuries.

Three points on the weekend has eased relegation concerns around Merseyside with a nine-point cushion on the bottom three.

But Moyes will want to see the owners build on their recent form which has seen three wins from his first four games.

With the clock ticking down on the Toffees, Kevin Thelwell is now assessing potential late options in the market.

And there is one player from the Championship who numerous Premier League sides are ready to swoop in for.

Everton interested in Burnley’s Josh Brownhill

One midfielder is close to confirming his move to Merseyside already with Everton agreeing a deal for Carlos Alcaraz.

However, the Toffees have seen some serious injuries in the middle of the park this season.

According to Alex Crook, Everton are one of the sides who are showing a late interest in the Burnley midfielder Josh Brownhill.

Brentford and Wolves are also believed to have the 29-year-old on their radar going into the final hours of the market.

With the midfielder out of contract at the end of the season, Brownhill is also receiving interest from Italy, France and Turkey.

Interest in signing a new midfielder has surfaced following Orel Mangala’s season-ending knee injury, which he picked up last weekend.

But there has been some positives for Everton in recent weeks with James Garner and Tim Iroegbunam returning from their long-term issues.

Josh Brownhill could provide Everton midfield cover

James Garner really impressed against Leicester City in what was his first Everton start in months.

But it has to be remembered he cannot be overused as a result of Mangala’s injury.

Garner should really be gently returned to the starting XI to avoid the possibility of him suffering an injury setback.

A player like Brownhill could offer Everton cover in the middle with his manager Scott Parker hailing his midfielder as incredibly underrated.

“He’s got huge quality and he’s now got nine for the season, so he’s been fundamental for us,” Parker said in a press conference just a few weeks ago.

“He is. He’s an exceptional footballer.”
