Everton are looking to close a deal for Carlos Alcaraz with the midfielder undergoing a medical.

The Toffees have been unable to get any deals across the line as of yet, but they are nearing their first.

Alcaraz has travelled to England to seal his move to Everton.

But this is not stopping Kevin Thelwell from making more moves to find additional midfielders for David Moyes before the deadline.

Everton have lost Orel Mangala to injury which has proved a real blow for the remaining months of the season.

Despite seeing James Garner impress against Leicester City, the Everton chiefs are still looking to bring in further January signings for midfield.

It looks as if they are going to get their wish with the expected signing of Ebimbe, there could be another set to follow.

According to BILD, Everton have been locked in negotiations for months with Eintracht Frankfurt over Junior Dina Ebimbe.

The 24-year-old looked set to join AS Monaco over recent days but has returned to Germany after undergoing a medical with the Ligue 1 side.

It is not just Everton who have shown an interest with Napoli and Galatasaray also keeping an eye on his situation.

Everton are expected to make two signings in this transfer window.

Junior Dina Ebimbe likened to Jude Bellingham

In the Bundesliga’s profile of the midfielder, the Frankfurt star was likened to Real Madrid’s Jude Bellingham in terms of his playing style.

However, he has not been able to pick up too much game time for the German side this season.

Just three starts in the Bundesliga has the 24-year-old looking for a move elsewhere.

And his versatility in being able to play across the midfield could prove really attractive for Everton who have experienced numerous injury issues this term.
