It’s fair to say many Everton fans have found the January transfer window quite frustrating.
Going into deadline day tomorrow night, the Toffees have yet to bring in any new faces so far.
It is hoped that a deal for Tyrique George will be completed by Everton. But at the moment, it’s looking like he could be the only incoming.

Some supporters feel the window has been a missed opportunity, with Everton currently sat in eighth place in the table.
We will see if Everton managed to pull anything unforeseen out of the bag.
But one player who will not be making any eleventh-hour move to the Hill Dickinson Stadium is the Estoril defender Kevin Boma.

It’s been reported today by Foot Mercato that Portuguese club Estoril have now decided their centre-back Kevin Boma will not be sold.

Everton had been credited with an interest in Boma a couple of weeks ago, and it was suggested a number of clubs were circling.
It was added that £4 million might have been enough for Everton to sign Boma.
But now Estoril have closed the door on a potential exit for Boma, who it’s stated has been the subject of ‘non-stop’ phone calls in this window.
Foot Mercato say two offers came in for Boma, from Augsburg and Paris FC. The publication also add that there was ‘very strong interest’ from Everton.
He has been deemed ‘untransferable’ by Estoril, but Foot Mercato say that bidding is likely to soar.
Everton must keep monitoring Boma
Undoubtedly, Everton will need to look into strengthening at centre-back this summer.
For the moment the situation is fine, with Moyes having some really solid options that can get Everton through to the end of the campaign.
But Michael Keane will be out of contract this summer and should he not extend then a replacement will be needed.

Even in the event that he stays, he is not an option for the long-term and neither is James Tarkowski.
So it makes sense for Everton to keep a close eye on Boma, and then make a move in the summer.
Seemingly though, the Toffees will not be the only club at the negotiating table.
