Everton are expected to be busy in the fast-approaching January transfer window, with David Moyes keen to add more quality to his squad.
Everton News columnist Alan Myers reckons Moyes could make three new signings, with the Scotsman already exploring multiple deals.
The Toffees are showing an interest in Antonee Robinson, and it has been reported that the Fulham left-back is open to a return to Merseyside.
Troy Parrott has also been scouted by Moyes’ recruitment staff, with a striker high up on the list of priorities.
Everton are looking at a winger, too, and one of their rumoured targets plays just like Jack Grealish, according to the statistics.

Everton target Jens Petter Hauge compared to Jack Grealish
According to recent reports, Everton have been making checks on Jens Petter Hauge, who has registered eight goal involvements in nine games for Bodo/Glimt this season.
Hauge has netted three goals in the Champions League, including a brace in a 2-2 draw against Tottenham Hotspur.
Do Everton need to sign a winger to provide Grealish with competition?

As per FBref’s underlying data, the 26-year-old has a very similar playstyle to Everton’s Jack Grealish.
Hauge ranks in the top four per cent in Europe for successful take-ons per 90 compared to his positional peers.
He also sits in the top 12 per cent for expected assisted goals, so clearly he is a brilliant ball carrier and playmaker, just like the Toffees wide player.
Perhaps Everton need a different profile to Grealish, just to bring something a little different on the left flank.
Everton should target a lightning-quick winger
Everton have a very similar cohort of wingers, as Grealish, Iliman Ndiaye and Tyler Dibling are all creative dribblers who like to set up chances.
If the Toffees were to dip into the winter market for another wide player, they should go for someone who’s lightning quick and can stretch defences.
Chelsea’s Tyrique George has been linked with a move to the Hill Dickinson, so that’d be an exciting addition.
If Tyler Dibling cost £40m, how much would Everton have to pay for George? 😳

George almost joined Fulham in a £22m deal in the summer, so that’s the sort of fee the Friedkin Group would have to shell out to land his signature in January.
