Everton are set for a whirlwind day of business as the transfer deadline approaches.
Tim Iroegbunam is due to undergo a medical at Hull City after the Tigers returned for the midfielder in the closing stages of the window. Nathan Patterson is also on the cusp of a departure, with the right-back closing on a move to Torino.
Those deals are set against a backdrop of further moves that are already advanced. Everton have agreed a deal starting at around £40m with AS Monaco for US forward Folarin Balogun and have reached an agreement with Manchester City over the return of Jack Grealish on loan.
Iliman Ndiaye, meanwhile, is due to head to the Etihad after an initial £60m agreement was reached with City over the winger. Beto was in Italy on Monday to work towards the completion of a move to Fiorentina for a reported £15m.

None of those deals have been signed off but all were moving towards completion on Tuesday morning.
Breakthroughs over Iroegbunam and Patterson came on Monday. Iroegbunam’s move to Hull would be for £15m rising to a potential £22m, while Patterson’s departure would also be on a permanent deal.
Everton are moving towards a right-back signing, with Kenny Tete targeted in a £9m move from Fulham.
Left-back Adam Aznou completed a loan switch to Malaga on Monday.
