Everton have agreed a deal to sign Merlin Rohl from Freiburg, with the German set to join on loan with an option to buy next summer.
Harrison Armstrong is set to go on loan to Preston North End, with Tyler Onyango also leaving the club for the season to Stockport County.
Everton are interested in Norwich full-back Kellen Fisher, with Nathan Patterson reportedly in talks to join Sevilla on loan.

Girona reject Everton offer for Yaser Asprilla
Everton signed Tyler Dibling from Southampton last week, with the talent joining in a deal worth around £40million.
But decision-makers at the Hill Dickinson Stadium are still in the market for a winger in the closing hours of the transfer window.
Pipe Sierra reported on Monday 1 September that Girona rejected an offer from Everton for 21-year-old winger Yaser Asprilla, with the club’s owners, the City Group, said to be demanding high figures.
The winger will stay in Spain this summer, and the Toffees will be forced to move on to other targets if they are to sign a winger before the deadline.
Why did Everton want Yaser Asprilla?
Asprilla made the move to Girona last summer, after enjoying a strong season in the Championship for Watford.
The winger scored six goals and provided seven assists, establishing himself among the most exciting young wingers in England’s second tier.
Girona would pay around £20m for the Colombia international, but he has failed to replicate his Championship impact in La Liga so far.

Take-ons attempted 4.45

Stats via FBref
Last season, Asprilla scored three goals and provided an assist in 27 league appearances, but the winger does present good underlying stats.
The 21-year-old attempts plenty of take-ons every game, and creates plenty of shooting opportunities for his teammates.
Asprilla is raw but would have provided a strong option for Moyes off the bench, and Everton will be disappointed to have missed out on him.
