The January transfer window is now open for business as Everton require some fresh faces to land on Merseyside.
In a window that is usually opportunistic for clubs, Everton may have to pull out the stops and get their business done.
Everton News columnist Alan Myers is hoping to see three Everton signings in January with some clear holes in the squad.

David Moyes was delighted with Everton’s summer business, but he will be just as desperate this time around to see players signed.
With the window now open, Moyes has shared the message from The Friedkin Group on the possibility of more additions.
The Friedkins issue clear January transfer message at Everton
Everton are keen to add a new right-back and striker in the January window to really bolster their lack of depth.
Sufficient funds were set aside over the summer and fans will be hoping for more of the same over the coming weeks.
During his Finch Farm press conference on Friday, Moyes shared what he has been told by the owners in what will be his second full transfer window back on Merseyside.
Forget your January hopes, what do you actually expect from Everton in the market? 🤔
“I think if we found the right players and the players we want then we could do so [add in January],” said the 62-year-old.
“But I think finding the right players is the hard bit.”
Everton are expected to wave goodbye to Seamus Coleman at the end of the season, as his contract comes to an end.
With Nathan Patterson the only fit, natural right-back currently at the club, it is clear just where Moyes will be looking to add to over the next few weeks.
The Friedkins must continue to back David Moyes
Since returning to the club, Moyes has shown more than enough to receive the financial backing of the owners.
Leon Osman hailed the Friedkins for bringing Moyes back and it is a move which has certainly paid off.
The 62-year-old has certainly endured some struggles since returning to the club and the current injury crisis has to be up there.
What position do Everton need to strengthen in most, right-back or striker?
But Everton have headed into 2026 in eighth spot of the Premier League table and sit just five points off the top four.
Moyes wants Everton to push for Europe and he may well struggle to do so with his current options.
The Friedkins must invest this month and capitalise on the opportunity they have under Moyes to really push on from their struggles over recent years.
