Marco Silva took his time bringing new signings through the door following his appointment as Everton manager.
Winger Richarlison and left-back Lucas Digne – from Watford and Barcelona respectively – are the only signings so far.
The Merseyside outfit have been linked to numerous names over the past few weeks and months, but with the transfer window due to close on Thursday, they need to hurry up if they want some more new faces.
The latest piece of speculation comes from The Sun, who claim that the Toffees have turned their attention to Chelsea defender Kurt Zouma as their pursuit of Barcelona’s Yerry Mina has stagnated.
It is believed that Everton want to take Zouma on loan for the season, mirroring what Stoke City did for the 2017-18 campaign.
The 23-year-old, who is valued at £13.5m by Transfermarkt, has been at Chelsea since 2014 when he made the move from Saint-Etienne.

Since suffering a serious knee injury in 2016, Zouma has struggled to win back a regular place in the Blues’ team.
After reports emerged that Everton could be in the market for him, fans posted their thoughts on Reddit.
