When Everton take a chance to look back on the season so far at the halfway stage, they may come to the conclusion that some deals may need to be done.
With financials looking tight, it hasn't stopped them from being linked to a number of players in the market, be it incomings or outgoings.. The free agent and loan market is there as a lower cost option, but there are potential outgoings, as certain players attract attention.
Nothing is set in stone and with the 10-point deduction pulling them back into the mix at the bottom of the table, more deals may need to be done. Therefore, with reports cropping up every day, LiverpoolWorld has decided to cover all of the Everton transfer stories in one place for the rest of the window. Here's everything that's happened so far, all the rumours and any deals that are currently close to being completed.
1. Maybe: Chuba Akpom
The English forward is being linked with a move to Everton, in what would be a last-gasp attempt to sign another forward on loan. Crystal Palace and Luton are also involved.
2. Done: Said Benrahma
The West Ham forward has struggled this season and has fallen down the pecking order and is available to sign. Unfortunately, it looks unlikely as Lyon have had a loan offer (with an option-to-buy) accepted. Photo: Justin Setterfield
3. Maybe: Max Beier
SPORTBILD have reported interest from Liverpool and Everton but it is likely he won't leave until the summer.
4. Maybe: Ben Godfrey
The defender has played just 180 minutes this season and he is being targeted by Sheffield United and Leeds. Daniel Farke's side have reportedly had a loan offer rejected and this could be a move that takes off.
