With just days until the transfer deadline, the window is now starting to heat up as Everton will be forced to act if they don’t want to miss out.
An underwhelming January window has been experienced so far on Merseyside as David Moyes awaits his first signing of the month.
The Toffees could certainly do with some late additions as Everton hope to mount a European push in the final months of the season.
Despite the poor form of late, this lofty ambition still remains a real possibility, with the clubs above Everton failing to pull away in the table.
What should be Everton’s top priority before the deadline on Monday? 😬
The clock is ticking… ⏰
Improvements are being eyed by clubs across the Premier League ahead of Monday’s deadline.
And Everton face missing out on one of their striker targets after Crystal Palace have stepped up their efforts to sign him.

Crystal Palace increase efforts to land Everton target Jorgen Strand Larsen
It has already been suggested that Everton have shown an interest in Jorgen Strand Larsen amid Wolves’ struggles.
The Norwegian striker is being linked with a number of Premier League clubs in the final days of the window.
How much would you pay for Jorgen Strand Larsen in January? 🤨
He scored 14 in the Premier League last season!
According to Fabrizio Romano, Crystal Palace are now stepping up their efforts to land the striker ahead of the deadline on Monday.
It has been claimed that Palace have improved their offer for Strand Larsen.
Talks are now taking place with the player’s camp to ‘seal the deal’ as the striker looks set to leave Molineux before the window shuts.
Leeds United have battled Everton for Strand Larsen over recent weeks as the list of Premier League suitors grows.
This is just another striker target who Everton look set to miss out on as they grow more and more likely to retain Beto for the remainder of the season.
Everton would massively benefit from upgrading Beto
So far this season, Beto has returned Everton a mere two goals in the Premier League.
The striker’s struggles are being made even clearer as Thierno Barry has finally been able to find some form after his shaky start on Merseyside.
A number of Italian clubs are interested in Beto ahead of the deadline, but the Blues simply cannot afford to risk him departing without a replacement.
In his weekly column for Everton News, Alan Myers admitted he could see Beto leaving Everton before Monday, but that would depend on Moyes bringing another striker in.
With the clock ticking, another opportunity looks set to pass the Toffees by.
