An old-school deadline day could well be in store for Everton fans with plenty of work needing to be done.

David Moyes has steadied the ship when it comes to the results on the pitch, but little work has been done in the transfer market.

Kevin Thelwell is nearing in on his first signing as Carlos Alcaraz is ready to sign his Everton contract.

However, there will have been an expectation that, under new ownership, more may have been done over this winter window.

Another win for Everton on the weekend has taken them nine points clear of the relegation zone, but that does not mean no additions are needed.

And it seems The Friedkin Group have tasked Thelwell with making one specific signing after Alcaraz.

Kevin Thelwell tasked with signing a forward for Everton

Everton set out hoping to sign a forward in the transfer market with their options being depleted through injury.

Dominic Calvert-Lewin, Youssef Chermiti and Armando Broja are all sidelined as a result of the recent injury crisis on Merseyside.

And according to the Daily Mirror, the Friedkins have now tasked Thelwell with landing a forward for Moyes before the 11pm deadline.

Beto impressed against Leicester City on Saturday as he returned Moyes with a brace in his first start under the 61-year-old.

However, more players are needed with the Portuguese striker being Everton’s only fit, senior striker.

Exciting youngster Rayan Cherki won’t be joining Everton after Lyon’s owner John Textor unleashed a social media rant about his player’s future.

However, Thelwell is going to have to be on the lookout for late opportunities with attacking additions needed.

Kevin Thelwell needs a huge transfer deadline day

It has been a seriously underwhelming performance from the Everon director of football in the winter market.

Thelwell is at risk of being replaced at Everton with his contract set to expire at the end of the season.

But he has shown little to warrant being handed a new deal with Everton still waiting on their first signing in the final hours of the window.

It was suggested Everton had around £40m to spend in this winter market, but not a single penny has left the accounts as of Monday morning.

Even a huge deadline day from Thelwell may not be enough to earn him an extended stay on Merseyside.
