How about that Hojbjerg?
What’s that, Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg has rejected a loan move from Tottenham Hotspur to Atletico Madrid? Would he like to come to Merseyside instead, like Arnaut Danjuma? The pair could have plenty of stories to share.

Nothing new on Cornet
There have been rumblings that Dyche could be looking for a Cornet reunion, but that doesn’t seem to be on now even though West Ham United are willing to let him go after injury had blighted his season.
Understand there is nothing advanced with Maxwel Cornet and Everton at this time. West Ham keen to offload and clubs have interest (including The Toffees) but likely to be a late move in the window if done. Open race #WHUFC #EFC pic.twitter.com/B1m5rORuMI

Maupay back to the Bees
This is out of nowhere. Fabrizio Romano reports that Everton have agreed a loan deal with Brentford for Neal Maupay, who will now head to London for a medical.
The Toffees are certainly clearing the decks, but will they bring in any new faces to replace these outgoings?

Toffees to make late Sulemana move
Another name that has been regularly mentioned throughout the summer is Kamaldeen Sulemana. Now Football Insider claims Everton are ready to make a late move for the Southampton winger, who is valued at £30m.
It seems the Toffees are spinning several plates, but will they actually complete a deal before the deadline?

Leeds standing firm on Gnonto
Leeds have are “determined” that Wilfried Gnonto will not leave the club on deadline day, despite reported interest from Everton, reports BBC Sport’s Phil McNulty.
The Toffees are supposedly in talks over a deal for the Italy forward, but it is clear the Whites are unwilling to sell.
Are they simply posturing to drive up the price? Or are Everton wasting their time?
We will find out in the next few hours.

Gbamin rumours denied
Jean-Phillipe Gbamin’s agent has denied reports Cadiz are interested in signing the midfielder, who the Toffees value at £5m. He has told BBC Sport’s Shamoon Hafez that they are in talks about terminating his contract.
Been told by Jean-Philippe Gbamin’s agent that he has had “no contact from any club” about signing him – Cadiz reports “not true”.
Said Everton have put a £5m pricetag on him, but midfielder “hoping to find solution to end his contract”. #EFC

Deal for Iwobi worth £22m
Alan Myers reports that the deal for Alex Iwobi is worth up to £22m, which is a decent fee for a player in the final year of his contract. They must spend the funds wisely though.

Everton look to trump Wolves to Harrison Reed
A new name to add to the list! The Independent’s Miguel Delaney is reporting that Everton are looking to beat Wolves to the signature of Fulham midfielder Harrison Reed.

Cannon on the move
The Athletic’s Paddy Boyland is reporting that Leicester have agreed a £7.5m fee with the Toffees for striker Tom Cannon, who will now head to the Foxes for a medical.
It would be a shame to see a promising academy prospect leave, but with funds tight the cash may help some squad building elsewhere.

Gray out on loan
L’Equipe is reporting that Lille have made a loan offer for Demarai Gray. Given Everton’s tight finances that would be a surprise, unless there is an obligation to buy as part of the deal
7am BST
There’s been quite a few names linked peripherally with the Blues, but nothing solid in the last couple of days – Kamaldeen Sulemana, Wilfried Gnonto, Luis Sinisterra, Maxwell Cornet, even Che Adams is still in play, at least that is what we hear.
Are you ready? Let’s do this, COYB!
Welcome to RBM’s transfer deadline day live blog. It could well be a very busy day for Everton, with a number of key players from recent years headed out the door as manager Sean Dyche looks to make this his team.
Demarai Gray is expected to leave for Saudi Arabia, with their transfer window closing a couple of weeks from today so this might not even get announced today. The Alex Iwobi to Fulham talk sprung up and grew legs pretty quickly, and we can only hope the Blues have a plan on how they are going to invest that £20 million, especially replacing his ball-carrying and chance creation.
There are a number of Championship clubs in the running for Tom Cannon, with the word being that Everton are looking to outright sell the young striker. Preston North End were the frontrunners for a while, but looks like Leicester City are close to nabbing him instead.
The first three games laid bare a lot of this club’s deficiencies. None was more stark than the lack of a striker, but thankfully that looks addressed now. However, cover is definitely needed at the center half position and the need for an attacking midfielder has never been more pronounced with Abdoulaye Doucoure continuing to be deployed in that role.
The arrival of Ashley Young might indicate inactivity at the fullback position today, but that would be disappointing given how poor the output so far from that pairing has been.
