Everton’s summer window has been a busy one, with numerous players departing in June at the end of their contracts.
David Moyes is delighted with Everton’s summer business, but he may feel there is still some room for movement in these final hours.
The mood around Everton will be high after another three points were picked up at the weekend against Wolves.
Now is not a time for the Toffees to rest on their laurels, though, with late deals potentially there to be made.
Moyes wanted nine or 10 new signings this summer, and that could still be achieved with a couple of additions before 7pm.
In these final hours, Everton are keen to sign another right-back and midfielder, but exits could also be on the cards.
As things stand, one potential exit is set to be scrapped.

Everton’s Nathan Patterson agreement with Sevilla scrapped
Late last week, it was claimed that Everton had agreed to loan Nathan Patterson to Sevilla, if they were able to find a replacement.
MORE EVERTON STORIES
Just hours remain before the window shuts and no replacement has landed on Merseyside.
According to Sky Sports, Patterson is now unlikely to land his move to the La Liga outfit before the close of play on Monday.
After disruptions in the expected sale of Sevilla right-back Juanlu Sanchez, the Scotland international is now no longer needed in Spain.
However, a move to another club ‘has not been ruled out’ by those at Finch Farm.
Patterson has now returned from an injury which cut his pre-season short during the trip to the United States.
This season was set to be a hugely important one for his Everton career, but it already looks as if he has been made surplus to requirements by Moyes.
Everton target Hector Fort still awaiting deadline day decision
Interestingly, Everton target Hector Fort is still waiting to join RCD Mallorca before the deadline strikes.
The Barcelona prospect is waiting for movement on the Mallorca side in offloading their current right-back, before he makes the move.
However, as the hours tick by, Everton may feel an opportunity is there to hijack the deal for Fort.
Everton have a number of right-backs on their radar today, but the clock is quickly ticking down on the deadline.
With the Blues looking to add to their squad, Patterson’s future remains hanging by a thread on Merseyside.
