Everton have been exploring a number of deals ahead of the transfer deadline.
The Toffees continue to be linked with Evan Ferguson, who is available on a six-month loan deal after falling behind Joao Pedro and Danny Welbeck in the pecking order.
Everton are also interested in Elias Jelert after his impressive displays for Turkish giants Galatasaray this season.
Hamza Igamane is another named linked to Goodison Park, so quite clearly, Everton chiefs are set for a frantic end to the window – which slams shut on February 3rd.
It has been widely reported that Angelo Preciado is close to becoming David Moyes’ first signing and now an old viral video has surfaced of the Ecuador international.
Angelo Preciado once went viral for threatening opposition players with a corner flag
Everton-linked Angelo Preciado is known to be quite a fiery character and that was most notably evinced in an under-20s Copa Libertadores semi-final between Independiente del Valle and River Plate Montevideo back in February 2018.
Preciado, who was playing for Independiente, ended up in the centre of a mass brawl after tempers spilt over following the full-time whistle.
The Ecuadorian immediately ran over to the corner flag before picking it up to use as a deterrent to the angered onrushing Montevideo players.
He started waving it in the direction of the opposition, who then naturally dispersed away from the unprecedented scenes.
Preciado’s actions quickly surfaced online and it became a viral video watched around the footballing world.
Juan Carlos Leo said it was out of character for Preciado
Preciedo’s then-manager Juan Carlos Leo explained that it was an out-of-character moment from the youngster.
“He’s really been maturing,” Carlos told the media, via The Guardian.
Since then, the 46-cap international has picked up five suspensions, so clearly, he still has his moments almost seven years removed from the incident.
Though, now aged 26, Preciado has cleaned up his reputation in Europe and looks well-placed to make a move to the Premier League, with Everton looking the most likely suitor at this stage
