The Everton transfer rumour mill is in full swing ahead of January, with a host of stories already doing the rounds.
One potential signing could be Richarlison, who remains out of Roberto De Zerbi's Premier League squad, having failed to secure a summer departure.

Everton tried to bring him back, but the summer ended without an agreement, and that history would give any renewed interest an obvious talking point.
Richarlison knows the club and the demands of English football, although Everton would still need a deal that works financially.
Nicolo Tresoldi represents a very different possibility, as the Club Brugge striker has also been linked with Everton, alongside several other Premier League sides.

Reports this week have again discussed his potential availability, but Brugge's reluctance to lose him in January remains a major obstacle.
Christian Kofane has also featured in reports about Everton's striker search, although Bayer Leverkusen resisted attempts to take him to Merseyside during the summer.
Moyes needs answers for the second half of this season, so the timing of any deal will matter as much as the name coming through the door.

There has at least been some encouragement over the money available, with Mail Sport's Lewis Steele reporting that Everton's January plans remain in place despite The Friedkin Group looking for a buyer.
According to Steele, Moyes would ideally add a striker and another player, and that would give him scope to address more than one weakness in his squad.
Left back is an obvious area where extra competition would help. Vitalii Mykolenko has carried much of the responsibility there, with Adam Aznou spending the season on loan at Malaga.

Everton need somebody capable of stepping in when required, and the latest transfer development involves a proven Premier League star.
Everton's Rayan Aït-Nouri loan hopes hinge on permanent Jack Grealish deal

TEAMtalk's Graeme Bailey reports that Rayan Aït-Nouri's representatives are exploring January options, with Everton among the clubs speaking to them about the Man City defender.
City are prepared to consider a loan, but Everton's chances of taking that route are tied to another decision involving Jack Grealish.
The winger returned to Merseyside on loan in September, with Premier League rules preventing clubs from having two players borrowed from the same English club at once.
For Everton to keep Grealish and bring Ait-Nouri in temporarily, they would therefore need to turn the winger's stay into a permanent transfer first.

Everton would therefore have to settle Grealish's future before they could seal a loan, so if they decide to go for Ait-Nouri permanently instead, City's asking price would be £30 million.
The Algeria international has struggled to secure a regular role under Enzo Maresca, with Joško Gvardiol and Nico O'Reilly providing competition in his position.
A January departure, which is set to happen according to Bailey, is now being worked on, with intermediaries talking to potential clubs in England and abroad.
For Moyes, the appeal would be adding a proven left back who dazzled during his time at Wolves, but the Grealish decision comes with its own financial considerations.
Everton would need both deals to fit their budget while leaving room for the striker they still really need.
