Everton are still actively exploring the transfer market ahead of deadline day on February 3rd.
The expectation was that Everton would sign three players this winter, but that no longer looks likely heading into the final days of the window.
David Moyes and his Everton chiefs have been eyeing a striker, a midfielder and a full-back, but it seems there is a new priority now.
Everton want Jhon Duran… would he be an upgrade on Thierno Barry? 👀
After Jack Grealish’s injury, which could keep him out of the remainder of the season, the Toffees could focus on bringing in a wide player.

Everton could be mystery club in talks to sign Jesse Lingard
According to the Daily Mail, free agent Jesse Lingard has been in talks with various Premier League clubs this month.
Lingard left South Korean side FC Seoul at the start of the transfer window and has been on the lookout for his next opportunity.
There’s no word on whether Everton were the club that held talks with Lingard, but it wouldn’t at all be surprising if they were.

Moyes worked with Lingard at West Ham United, and the 32-cap England international flourished under his stewardship.
The Scotsman even allowed him to come back and train with the Hammers when he was a free agent in 2023, following his Nottingham Forest exit.
So, perhaps there is a small chance that Lingard could make a shock move to the Hill Dickinson Stadium before the deadline.
Jesse Lingard could end up in Serie A
At this stage, it looks more likely that Lingard will end up moving to Serie A, as the report claims that he is in advanced talks to sign with a couple of clubs in Italy.
Indeed, that’s not to say Everton are out of the picture, as they may still offer him a short-term deal as cover for Grealish.
