Everton’s business is likely to run the clock.

00:00 Will, just on Everton, what can we expect from now to deadline day in terms of their transfer business ongoing?
00:05 You know, it's been quite slow, as we've mentioned, but can you see any twists and turns before that deadline?
00:12 Yeah, I think that Everton's business is probably going to go to the wire, to be honest with you.
00:16 I think that right till the final day, they might be looking at who they can bring in, etc.
00:22 Just because that's the nature of it. Everton, unfortunately, given that the financial predicaments are down,
00:27 the food chain in terms of players available, you might come to them.
00:31 As we speak now, it looks like Yusuf Chimesi, the Sporting Listen striker, is very much close to being announced as an Everton player.
00:41 But he's only 19, plays the best part of half a season in senior football.
00:48 Is he the battle to Dominic Calvert-Lewin? I'd suggest not.
00:52 So I think Everton will get another striker in, another winger they certainly want.
00:58 You know, Gnonto at Leeds is linked, and a couple of others.
01:01 And then, centre-back's an interesting position for me as well.
01:07 Pre-season, Jarrett Bramfoet, who spent the last season on loan at PSV, has looked good.
01:12 But is he ready to play every week in the Premier League, next to James Tarkowski?
01:18 It's Michael Keane, the option. He's had a lot of chances now, and some people, even Sean Dyche maybe, is thinking,
01:27 well, maybe it's just not quite working out. He played Ben Godfrey in the final game against Sporting Lisbon.
01:33 Godfrey hasn't had a great pre-season either. So maybe he's looking at centre-back.
01:37 And then you look at potential outgoings there.
01:39 I mean, Damali Gray, interesting one. Reports suggest that he hasn't trained since arriving back from international duty,
01:47 with Jamaica, didn't feature in any Sporting Lisbon. Sean Dyche said that was fitness.
01:52 But, you know, reports suggest in disagreed terms with Fulham, obviously he needs a winger in there.
01:57 And some other players, like Mason Holgate, look like that might be going out.
02:01 Maybe some other potential fringe players might depart.
02:05 Depends on who Evan can offload, really, and if the deals are right.
02:09 Bordy, busy window, a lot of, I don't want to say wheeling and dealing, but I think director of football, Kevin Fell,
02:19 well, you'll have to be quite shrewd about his business, I think. And yeah, I think it'll go right to the wire.
