Good morning all and with the end of the window approaching I have taken a ‘kitchen sink’ approach to this mornings update.
Indeed, other than a rehashed Patterson link, there’s not a mention of a right back anywhere and the general opinion is that we must sell before we buy…….
However it’s Friday so with embargo’s inevitable please enjoy today’s offerings.
H.i.t.c.com claim that Marcel Brands is open to offers for defenders Mason Holgate and Jarrad Branthwaite, as Everton seek a raft of sales to raise funds before Deadline Day,
this is also supported by Sky Sports who report that the Toffees must offload their deadwood to afford any last-ditch deals to strengthen Rafael Benitez’s first Goodison Park squad. But Director of Football Brands is yet to find suitors for James Rodriguez, Fabian Delph, Jonjoe Kenny or Cenk Tosun.
Everton are also willing to sell Moise Kean two years after paying Juventus an initial £29m, plus £8m in add-ons. Fiorentina showed an interest in the Italian to replace Dusan Vlahovic, per Grand Hotel Calciomercato. But have since stated the Serbian is staying in Tuscany.

Sky have also claimed that Everton are keen on Burnley winger Dwight McNeil.
McNeil has been outstanding for the Clarets over the past year and has the potential to develop into a top-class Premier League winger.
Everton need more depth in wide areas, and McNeil could prove to be a superb long term investment.
Juventus have reportedly established contact to explore the possibility of signing Moise Kean ahead of Tuesday’s transfer deadline.
Kean originally left Juventus in 2019 to sign for Everton, but the Serie A side are considering bringing him back to Turin.
Acording to Italian broadcaster Sportitalia, the Italian giants have held talks to probe Kean's situation as uncertainty grows surrounding his future.
another report quoting the same source expands on this saying…..
Juventus are reportedly exploring the option of reuniting with Moise Kean as they brace themselves for Cristiano Ronaldo's shock summer departure.
According to Italian news outlet SportItalia, Everton have given Kean the green light to re-join Juventus this summer, with the two clubs ready agree to a loan fee, which will include an obligation to buy in the deal.
The report goes on to suggest that the obligation to buy fee would be around £21m (€25m), with Massimiliano Allegri said to be a fan of the 21-year-old forward.
Everton could return to rangers with an improved offer for defender Nathan Patterson, it has emerged.
The Blues saw their initial approach for the Scottish youngster knocked back by the Gers, but Everton may not have given up hope of a deal just yet.
"Everton will offer more or look elsewhere," claim the Times.
"Everton’s approach also flagged up that there are English Premier League-level wages for him out there."
Everton are reportedly interested in signing American midfielder Weston McKennie from Juventus this summer.
According to Tuttosport, Aston Villa and West Ham United are also keen on signing the 22-year-old.
Sheffield United have not yet responded to Everton's offer for Daniel Jebbison, the ECHO understands.
And the silence from Bramall Lane is likely to mean the Blues will have to return with a second bid for the 18-year-old striker if they are to land him before next week's deadline.
Everton are pursuing a deal for Sheffield United striker Daniel Jebbison – a player they had on trial and chose not to sign in 2019.
That’s according to The Athletic, who state that Everton actually had Jebbison training with them two years ago, before committing his future to Sheffield United.
It’s understood that some staff at Goodison Park actually wanted Jebbison signed back then, but people higher up at Everton chose not to strike a deal.
Niels Nkounkou is the subject of an offer from an unnamed Belgium club. The French left-back played in Tuesday night's Carabao Cup win at Huddersfield but is now expected to leave Everton on loan before Tuesday night's deadline. (Echo)
Paris Saint-Germain are eyeing up a shock move for Everton forward Richarlison this summer if Kylian Mbappe ends up leaving the club in the final days of the transfer window, say reports.
