Everton will remain attentive to any late opportunities in the transfer market ahead of Monday’s deadline.
The Friedkin Group’s first summer window as the owners of Everton has been extremely encouraging.
David Moyes is pleased with Everton’s transfer business, but it could get even better for the Toffees.
The likes of Angus Kinnear will be hard at work inside Finch Farm looking for some late additions to put the icing on the cake for this summer’s window.
A trip to Molineux awaits the Blues this weekend, but work will be going on in the background with Everton eyeing another midfielder and defender.
However, it could not just be late arrivals on Merseyside, with some potential exits still in the works.
Youssef Chermiti is being eyed by Rangers, and he could be followed in leaving Everton on loan by another player.

Everton’s Harrison Armstrong set to join Preston North End
All summer long, Harrison Armstrong has been keen to impress Moyes in hope he could secure a role for the 2025/26 campaign.

With days remaining in the market, it has remained uncertain as to where Armstrong will be playing his football this season.
According to the Daily Mail, Preston North End are set to win the race to land the youngster’s services on loan.
It is believed that Armstrong could even secure his move to the Championship outfit as early as Friday afternoon.
Everton’s players have been impressed with Armstrong over the course of the summer, but the final decision rests on the 62-year-old manager.
Armstrong has done all he can do to impress, with the midfielder even providing both assists on Wednesday evening against Mansfield Town.
Armstrong’s exit could advance a new midfield signing
Given Everton have shown an interest in signing another midfielder before Monday, allowing Armstrong to leave could be the green light needed to push on in the market.
Everton News understands that Everton would like to sign Kobbie Mainoo on loan, but that is a deal that is proving difficult.
Having shared his desire to depart before Monday, Manchester United have rejected Mainoo’s request to leave.
A player of Mainoo’s calibre would provide a huge boost to Everton’s midfield options, but there are other players on the market.
Everton hold an interest in Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Yves Bissouma.
Having agreed a deal with Spurs, it now appears as if Bissouma’s move to Galatasaray has collapsed, which could offer the Toffees another shot at landing the player.
Either way, Moyes will surely be keen to strengthen his options, with Armstrong headed for the exit.
