Everton are looking to make some last-minute moves in this summer’s transfer window.
David Moyes is pleased with Everton’s business so far, but the Blues will be keen to bolster their depth ahead of Monday’s deadline.
Tyler Dibling was the latest player to come through the doors at Everton, after weeks of negotiations and patience paid off.
With the clock ticking on Monday’s deadline, there is an understanding that Everton would like to land another defender.
Moyes has demanded more additions throughout the entirety of the summer following a number of departures in June.
Everton have a deal in place to loan out Nathan Patterson to Sevilla, but that will require a replacement right-back to come in before the end of play on Monday.

Everton have three right-backs on their radar
It is believed Everton hold an interest in Hector Fort from Barcelona, with the Catalan giants ready to sanction a loan move.
Despite Seamus Coleman’s impressive display on Wednesday night, an addition may well be top of the agenda for the Blues before the window shuts.

According to Sky Sports, Everton have three players on their radar to potentially add to their options at right-back.
Hector Fort
Ainsley Maitland-Niles
Kellen Fisher
Everton showed interest in Maitland-Niles earlier in the summer, with Lyon in need of some sales to balance their books.
And Everton have also eyed Fisher from Norwich City, which leaves them with a host of options to choose from ahead of the deadline.
Jake O’Brien has done a job at right-back, but Moyes will surely want a natural option who can provide some attacking threat going forward.
Everton fans would love to see Fort sign from Barcelona, and that is a deal the La Liga outfit are believed to be open to on a loan basis.
Everton also eyeing midfield addition
Everton News understands that West Ham rejected an Everton bid for Tomas Soucek last week.
The Toffees are still working on adding another midfielder to their squad before the close of play on 1 September.
However, he is not the only option, with Sky Sports also claiming Hayden Hackney remains of interest.
Hackney has now informed Middlesbrough he’d like to leave if a Premier League club does make an offer in the final days of the window.
But the report also claims that Boro have no intention of selling him at this stage of the summer.
