Everton are at serious risk of losing out on one of their winter targets as a rival club near a deal.
Now over four weeks into the window and Everton remain stuck in the mud when it comes to bringing any new faces through the door.
Deadline day is on Monday, which may well suggest that David Moyes has not been convinced with the opportunities on offer in the market.
Moyes did admit Everton may not sign anyone in the winter market, with it being a window of opportunity for most clubs.
What should be Everton’s top priority before the deadline on Monday? 😬
The clock is ticking… ⏰
It is not what Everton fans will have wanted to hear, but it has turned out to be true as Everton are set to see another rumoured target pass them by.
It was claimed that The Friedkin Group were backing Everton in the market, but they will have to act fast if they want to sign Wesley Gassova.

Earlier in the week, it was suggested that Everton were showing an interest in Wesley from the Saudi Pro League side Al-Nassr.
Attacking additions are still needed on Merseyside, but it appears that Wesley will not be one of them.

Do we really need a winger over a full-back or striker? 🤔
According to Fabrizio Romano, Wesley is now closing in on a move to La Liga side Real Sociedad.
The Italian journalist may have eased some concerns from Everton fans as a deal for the Brazilian is now at the final stages.
With the winger agreeing to make the move to Spain, Romano states a ‘Here We Go’ is imminent.
Everton remain without Jack Grealish for a number of months following his fracture that has recently sidelined him.
Although there may be a need to improve in the attacking areas, Everton News readers made it clear over on TalkingPoints that they were not convinced after hearing the Wesley rumours.

Everton set for a telling final four days of the window
Four days remain for Everton to get some deals over the line, but it has certainly been a quiet one for the Blues to this point.
Everton News understands that Everton refuse to make any panic buys this month as they look for long-term stability.
If the right players are not there, then it is a smart move from the club not to spend for the sake of spending.
However, fans will naturally want to see new faces added in the transfer window.
Time will tell what lies ahead for Everton in the market; one thing that is certain is that time is running out for moves to be made.
