Eight free agents Everton can still sign after the closure of transfer window - gallery

It proved a frustrating summer transfer deadline day for Everton.

By manager Sean Dyche’s own admission, the Toffees’ lack of business on the final day of the window was not ‘ideal’. Everton were working on deals yet Dyche admitted they did not suit the club from a business perspective.

Meanwhile, Alex Iwobi was sold to Fulham for around £22 million, Neal Maupay joined Brentford on loan and Tom Cannon joined Leicester City for around £7.5 million.

As a result, sections of supporters have expressed concern that Everton’s squad may be slightly short of options. The Blues could name just seven players on the bench for Saturday’s 2-2 draw at Sheffield United - with two being goalkeepers - and have taken just one point from their opening four matches.

In fairness, Everton have a fairly lengthy injury list for this time of the season, with Lewis Dobbin and Michael Keane both missing out at Bramall Lane with knocks.It’s a rarity throughout a campaign, though, that every player is available for a significant period of time.

Despite the transfer window shutting, it doesn’t mean that Everton can no longer sign players. Clubs can still recruit free agents to bolster their squads. With that in mind, here’s a look at who may fit the bill for the Toffees.
