It is not just arrivals on the radar at Everton in the final week of the summer transfer window.
David Moyes will be keen to see some last-minute deals secured on Merseyside by Angus Kinnear before the deadline on Monday.
The Toffees could certainly do with a couple of extra additions to really bolster their squad depth.
Everton have brought eight new faces through the doors at Finch Farm this summer, but it’s claimed another midfielder and defender is on Everton’s radar.
With that in mind, the Blues have lined up a potential exit, with Nathan Patterson lined up for a move to Sevilla.
For this to happen, Everton will need to find a direct replacement before the deadline.
The Scotland international may not be the only player heading for the exit doors on Merseyside over the coming days.

Everton considering late exit for Youssef Chermiti
Moyes has been keen to involve Youssef Chermiti at Everton, but injury issues have caused a number of setbacks over recent months.

The £15m striker has featured on the bench for the opening two games of the season, where he has failed to make an appearance.
According to Foot Africa, the Toffees will make a decision on Chermiti’s future in the coming days.
Two main clubs have been credited in the report with an interest:
Rangers
Stoke City
Other Championship clubs are said to be keeping an eye on the 21-year-old’s situation on Merseyside ahead of Monday.
Chermiti is believed to be keen to land regular minutes, which do not appear to be on offer at Everton.
Moyes is believed to be open to signing another striker this summer, but time is running out for this to happen.
Everton’s cup clash will say a lot about Chermiti’s future
The game against Mansfield Town on Wednesday evening will say a lot about where Chermiti’s future lies.
Moyes will be wary about joining Leeds United and Sunderland in being eliminated early on against lower league opposition.
Playing Chermiti may be seen as a big risk by Moyes, who will surely prefer to hand out the minutes to Thierno Barry, who was praised for his full debut.
Leaving Chermiti on the bench against a League One outfit will say all there needs to be said about where his future may lie.
However, an injury to either Beto or Barry will leave the Blues incredibly light up top until January.
