The January transfer window has been a very quiet one for Everton, with the biggest news coming from their off-pitch financial struggles.
Fans would love to get some positive transfer news but the financial are simply not there at the moment. Despite that, there have been plenty of reports and rumours of moves for players on loans or those who are available as free agents.
Some exits have been teased as well but Sean Dyche's side may need to bring in whoever they can to help give them that push to avoid another tiresome relegation battle. Therefore, we've decided to preview what Everton's potential XI could look like in 2024 if the January rumours are true.
1. GK - Jordan Pickford
One of Everton's most important players and a fan favourite.
2. RB - Nathan Patterson
The Scottish full-back has competition with Seamus Coleman but has been a consistent figure for Dyche this year, but will hope to get more minutes.
3. CB - James Tarkowski
The defender is an ever-present at the back and so key to Dyche and Everton.
4. CB - Jarrad Branthwaite
Many sides are targeting the Everton defender, who has been in terrific form this season, but he will remain at the club until the summer when the club are likely to have to fend off plenty of interest. Any huge fees may have to be accepted given their financial situation.
