Everton fans would love to see another big signing made in the January transfer window, which is now just a month away.
David Moyes was handed sufficient backing earlier this year in what was The Friedkin Group’s very first summer window at the club.
However, that was just the start and more additions are going to be needed in January at Everton.
Everton News columnist Alan Myers is hoping for three major signings, with a new striker, midfielder and right-back on his to-do list.
The January window has become an even bigger opportunity for the Blues on the back of the recent setbacks in midfield for the Toffees.
It is believed Everton have shown an interest in Scott McTominay, but Napoli’s reaction to potential January interest has now been shared.

Everton informed of Napoli’s reaction to rumoured Scott McTominay interest
After receiving the question last week, Moyes suggested Everton were not in the market for McTominay just yet.
The 62-year-old was quizzed on a potential £60m swoop for the Scotland international, but the Everton boss did not go along with the speculation.

Where will Everton finish this season?
According to NapoliMagazine, the suggestion of McTominay departing Napoli any time soon has been laughed off.
The report claims Napoli have now made McTominay their main man for both the present and future, which will not change.
A clear answer has been sent out to any potentially interested sides from the Premier League having seen what the Scot has achieved in Italy.
Everton had previously attempted to sign McTominay, but Sean Dyche was unable to secure the midfielder from Manchester United.
It is a possible deal that clubs across Europe will now be kicking themselves over as he continues to shine over in Serie A.
McTominay would have been a huge signing for Everton
Merlin Rohl is sidelined through injury and Idrissa Gana Gueye is set to depart for the Africa Cup of Nations after his suspension.
This leaves the Blues with just two senior central midfielders currently fit for Moyes to select.
Adding a player of McTominay’s quality could have been a huge statement for the Friedkins if they were able to land him from Napoli.

But it is no surprise that the Italian outfit is keen to keep him around after his start to life on the continent.
And from the player’s perspective, surely he is not looking to uproot his life amid the incredible form he is showing for Napoli.
