Everton's January shopping list is throwing up plenty of talking points as another week brings fresh names and familiar transfer headaches.
David Moyes has been linked with reinforcements across the pitch, and there is no shortage of speculation about where the club might spend.

Marcus Rashford remains one of the bigger names in the frame, but the finances remain a hurdle. His massive wage packet would make any agreement complicated, while Everton would also need to convince him that the move was right for his career.
That leaves a lot of work to do, whatever appeal there is in signing a player with such a big Premier League reputation.

At the back, Tiago Gabriel continues to attract attention, with the Lecce centre-back also reportedly wanted by Crystal Palace, so the Toffees may need to push hard to make themselves the most attractive option.
Gabriel would reportedly favour Inter or Bayern if they pushed ahead, with the prospect of Champions League football working against Everton's hopes.
Minnesota United's Kelvin Yeboah has also entered the discussion, with talkSPORT highlighting Everton as a potential destination while reporting wider Premier League interest.
Bringing in another central striker would give Moyes more choice alongside Thierno Barry, but at this stage the Yeboah link remains one to watch.

Meanwhile, Conor Gallagher is the latest name to enter Everton's January picture, with a potential move for the Tottenham midfielder reportedly being prepared.

Fussball News claims Everton are putting together a possible winter offer for the England international.
There have been no concrete negotiations with Spurs yet, according to the German outlet, which also gives no official asking price for Gallagher.
Gallagher, 26, has been sharing minutes at Tottenham, giving interested clubs a reason to investigate whether he could be tempted elsewhere.

However, De Zerbi reportedly wants him to stay. The Italian values his energy and ability to handle different midfield jobs, even when he is not starting.
His contract runs until 2031, giving Spurs little reason to feel rushed into selling, and Everton would need to change their minds before any bid could produce a deal.
Gallagher is hardly an unfamiliar target for the Toffees.

In January 2023, Sky Sports reported that Everton were willing to pay Chelsea £40 million plus £5million in add-ons for him, but the midfielder was not interested in joining at the time.
Sean Dyche had just been appointed and Anthony Gordon had left for Newcastle. It was a very different situation, although that failed pursuit underlines how long Gallagher has been admired on Merseyside.
His career has since taken him to Atlético Madrid and back to England, and Moyes would be looking at a proven midfield addition who already knows the demands of English football.
