Everton are going into the final week of the summer transfer window on the back of a dismal start to the new season.
Sean Dyche has been handed new signings to bolster his squad but that was not necessarily seen on the weekend against Brighton & Hove Albion.
The Everton manager handed out just one debut in the emphatic defeat against Brighton & Hove Albion with the likes of Jake O’Brien left on the bench in favour of Michael Keane.
But there is still time for Kevin Thelwell to work his magic in the market and provide the Everton boss with some further recruits.
And there is seemingly one player who the Toffees are seriously keen to bring in before the deadline next Friday.
Everton ‘very interested’ in signing Champions League midfielder
The Blues have been looking to bring in another midfielder this summer following the sale of Amadou Onana to Aston Villa for around £50m.
Everton had shown an interest in Kalvin Phillips but have since seen him depart Manchester City for Ipswich Town.
But there is one specific midfielder who Everton are now believed to be showing an interest in over the final days of the window.

According to journalist Romain Collet-Gaudin, Everton are ‘very interested’ in signing the Paris Saint-Germain midfielder Carlos Soler.
The Spaniard joined PSG back in 2022 from Valencia where he has since gone on to make 63 appearances across all competitions.
However, Everton are not the only Premier League side to be showing an interest in the 27-year-old with West Ham United also on the scene.
Both sides have been informed that if they want to sign Soler over the coming days they are going to have to part with €24m (£20m).
Carlos Soler can already speak English with Everton interested
Any move to a foreign country for a player is going to see the individual come across a number of different issues.
However, perhaps the biggest is learning a new language, but Soler has already learnt how to speak English.
Speaking to The Guardian back in 2022, Soler discussed his love for the Premier League having grown up watching it alongside his father.
“It’s all so mad, so physical, that if you can adapt to the intensity and then make the right decision, find the right space, that gives you something,” he said.
“Football is ever more physical but the player that ‘arrives’, that filters the final pass can adapt well: like Pablo Fornals, say.”
