Everton could yet complete more transfer business ahead of Monday night’s deadline.
The Toffees continued their impressive start to the new Premier League campaign with an impressive attacking performance bringing three points away at Wolves.
Jack Grealish looks to be an inspired signing for Everton, and they will certainly be eyeing up further movement in the market ahead of the cut-off at 7pm BST.
With that in mind, Goodison News rounds up everything that the Toffees faithful can expect on deadline day, as there could be more activity at the Hill Dickinson Stadium.

Done Deals
Grealish’s arrival at Everton is certainly the highlight of their summer business so far, but David Moyes will be pleased with where his squad is at heading into September.
MORE TOFFEES STORIES
The Toffees have already completed eight signings so far this summer, with the recent acquisition of Tyler Dibling for £42million rounding off a lengthy transfer pursuit.
League Rank Team Total Spend
9 Sunderland £143m
10 West Ham £124m
11 Everton £110m
12 Burnley £108m
13 Bournemouth £105m
Everton’s transfer spend compared to Premier League rivals, as per Transfermarkt.
Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall is showing plenty of encouraging signs, while Charly Alcaraz has gone from strength to strength since turning his loan deal into a permanent one.
Thierno Barry looks like he needs to be afforded time to adapt, but the Merseysiders can take solace from the fact that several of their new faces have hit the ground running.

Ins – Tomas Soucek and Florentino Luis
Everton’s pursuit of Tomas Soucek has taken a blow over the weekend, with the news that he is “90% certain” to still be a West Ham player come Tuesday morning.
Nevertheless, it still wouldn’t be a surprise to see the Toffees try and take their chase of the Czechia international right down to the wire.
Moyes is the man who first brought Soucek to England, and after the recent failed bid to sign him, the Scot will surely be keen to submit at least one more offer to try and test the Hammers’ resolve.

The midfield appears to be the late priority for the boss, with Everton also potentially lining up an approach for Florentino Luis.
The Portuguese is believed to suit the profile that Moyes wants in the middle of the park, and as such, reports in his homeland are suggesting that a late offer could come in from the Hill Dickinson Stadium.
Everton were linked with a move for the 26-year-old earlier in the summer, and an offer of £21.6m is likely to be enough to secure his signature.

Outs – Nathan Patterson and Youssef Chermiti
Nathan Patterson is on the verge of an Everton exit, with a deal agreed in principle for him to join Sevilla on loan.
The deal relies on the Spanish side shifting their current option Juanlu Sanchez before the deadline, but in theory, the Patterson deal is one which could potentially be done in a matter of hours, given the agreement that is already in place.
Youssef Chermiti is set to leave Everton to join Rangers before the deadline, with a deal progressing well over a package of £10m.
The Portuguese forward has failed to find the back of the net during his time on Merseyside, and his departure is certainly the best decision for both parties.
Aside from those two, there is little to note in terms of exits at the Hill Dickinson Stadium, with the interest from elsewhere in Jarrad Branthwaite in the early part of the window seemingly having now died down.
