Everton have had a quiet January, but there remains a possibility we could see some late outgoings.
The Toffees are still looking for potential new recruits, but the market is difficult and the narrative has been that Everton are operating with caution.
The club apparently don’t see a huge amount of value to be had in January, so a quiet window was perhaps going to be inevitable.
There’s no way Everton can sell Tim Iroegbunam after the season he’s having! 😡
Lazio are believed to be keen to sign the midfielder 💷
But there are still some outgoings that could happen, with the likes of Beto and Nathan Patterson being linked with exits.
But Tim Iroegbunam is also a player with speculation at the moment.
However, it seems David Moyes is keen to keep hold of the midfielder.

Everton reject Lazio offer for Tim Iroegbunam
Corriere dello Sport have reported that Lazio have seen an offer for Iroegbunam rejected.
It was reported last week that Lazio were showing interest in Iroegbunam, who is currently nursing an injury.
This, after there were claims that Iroegbunam was being eyed by Championship clubs.
It was suggested that Everton were not looking to offload him, and seemingly that remains the case.
Lazio’s offer was said to have been ‘immediately rejected’, with the proposal being deemed ‘unfeasible’. the publication stops short of saying how much it was worth.
But it was previously claimed that Everton would want at least £13 million if they were going to sell Iroegbunam.
Iroegbunam’s Everton fate may be decided by Harrison Armstrong
Everton are said to be reluctant to offload players this month.
However, an exit for Iroegbunam should not be entirely ruled out – especially with Harrison Armstrong playing as well as he is.
Armstrong has really looked the part recently after returning to the club from Preston North End.
Has Harrison Armstrong done enough to stay at Everton? 🤔
Now, Moyes has spoken about sending Armstrong back on loan to Preston, but would keep him if he felt he could still give him decent minutes.
If he does well against Leeds and then Brighton, Moyes and his superiors might just block an exit for Armstrong, which would then potentially cast doubt on Iroegbunam’s immediate future.
Of course, Lazio would obviously need to send in an improved offer, but it’s a possibility he could yet end up leaving.
