Everton are one of the busier clubs in the Premier League ahead of the transfer deadline this evening.
David Moyes has enjoyed a productive window so far, with Jack Grealish and Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall already establishing themselves as key players.
In fact, Manchester City fans want Grealish back after his sensational start to life on Merseyside, registering four assists in two league starts.
Everton are still looking to do some last-minute business with just hours left in the window, and with that said, there is now a fresh development about a rumoured target.

The latest update on Everton target Merlin Rohl
Everton are in talks to sign Merlin Rohl from Bundesliga outfit Freiburg.
Moyes is desperate to bring in a central midfielder, having failed to land Tomas Soucek’s signature from West Ham United.
The potential deadline day deal for Rohl is believed to be worth around £17m, and now, according to Sky Sports reporter Marlon Irlbacher, he is currently undergoing a medical in Merseyside.
Irlbacher reports that the Germany under-21 international has already ‘said goodbye’ to Freiburg teammates, making a transfer to the Toffees ‘imminent’.
Everton could sign two more after Merlin Rohl
With the Rohl deal close to completion, Everton can now turn their focus towards signing a right-back in the remaining hours.
The Toffees have looked at Hector Fort from Barcelona, whilst Norwich City full-back Kellen Fisher is being linked to Finch Farm.
Moyes is also hopeful of signing a centre-back, although, a move to sign free agent Victor Lindelof has fallen through.
Lindelof has signed for Aston Villa, as they offered a higher contract running through until 2027, with the option of a further year.
