da betobet: Everton are unlikely to sign a player before the transfer deadline because of their inability to sell Oumar Niasse and Cuco Martina this month, per Sky Sports News.
What’s the word?
da betway: The Toffees have not signed a single player for the first-team in this transfer window, though they have allowed Cenk Tosun to move to Crystal Palace on loan.
And while they have been searching for a midfielder, they are more likely to do loan deals than permanent transfers at this point of the window.
Writing for Sky Sports, reporter Vinny O’Connor said: “Everton at this point have been unable to offload Oumar Niasse and Cuco Martina, which arguably has a knock-on effect in terms of bringing players in because they haven’t reduced the wage bill.
“They have been looking for a midfielder following the injuries to Jean-Philippe Gbamin and Andre Gomes and we know of their interest in Everton Soares of Gremio, but so far they haven’t registered a bid. Obviously that could change before the deadline.
“However, given what director of football Marcel Brands said at the club’s general meeting about finances, unless they are able to make room in the squad, it might only be loan deals that they are able to bring in before the deadline.”

Important summer
While this was the first transfer window with Carlo Ancelotti in charge, one feels that the summer is the important window.
Then, he will have a firmer grip on the attributes of his squad and the positions in desperate need of strengthening.
At this point, keeping their powder dry makes sense and allows for an assault on the window when the summer rolls around.
At this point, the Toffees are only four points behind the Europa League qualification places, while they are seven clear of the drop zone.
Bringing a player in for the sake of it just doesn’t make logical sense.
Meanwhile, Everton are reported to have made an approach for a midfielder!
