Reports are suggesting Everton's sudden urge for obscure, right sided defenders comes as a result of Phil Neville needing an ankle operation.
If accurate, it would be another bitter pill for David Moyes to swallow, with Tony Hibbert also sidelined. It is believed Neville has been playing through the pain barrier since the back end of last season.
Record.pt, a respected Portuguese newspaper, is claiming that Everton could still go back in with an increased offer for Joao Moutinho, although the chance is "remote.
Everton have apparently had one enquiry ignored but could still go back with an offer of 20m Euros according to the paper.
Albert Riera is set to snub Everton and move to Liverpool after Espanyol and the Anfield club battled out a new deal which reflects the value of Everton's bid.
The Blues had attempted to hijack Liverpool's bid by offering the Spanish club what they actually want for the player, but he has stuck to his guns in his bid to move to Liverpool.
Being from hundreds of miles away, we can expect, in broken English, a statement saying that Liverpool were his boyhood club once he signs.
Everton have reportedly captured Nigerian striker Victor Obinna on a season long loan from Inter Milan.
The 21-year old, who has played with Everton's Nigerian trio at international level, has just joined Inter Milan on a three-year contract from Chievo Verona. Suprisingly, however, Everton have been able to agree an "option to buy" clause in the loan deal.
Obinna recently starred for Nigeria in the 2008 Beijing Olympics. His pace and trickery saw his score three goals, as the 'Dream Team' claimed the silver medal.
Everton are on the verge of completing a deal for Ecuador international midfielder Segundo Castillo. A fee has been agreed with Red Star Belgrade and Castillo should be an Everton player by tomorrow, subject to a medical.
A work permit is suspected to be a formality, with the defensive midfielder regularly appearing in the Ecuador side, having already chalked up 33 caps.
The announcement will go some way to banish the myth Everton officials aren't doing enough to ensure the squad is in best possible shape to fight on four fronts. Or maybe not. ...discuss this on the forums
Speaking on TalkSport, Ian Wright has clarified that his son Shaun has already decided which club he will move to, and that the deal is transpiring at this moment.
Media reports circulating from an EXCLUSIVE Daily Mail report had suggested Wright-Phillips was willing to fight for his place and reject the offers from Everton and Manchester City. However, Wright has banished such rumours.
He said; "Shaun has decided where he wants to go, his mind is made up. It's happening at the moment, there were four clubs involved"
Evertonians face an anxious wait over whether the England international has opted for Goodison Park, with Everton forums everywhere likely to explode with optimism if the Chelsea man signs on the dotted line.
