Everton pursues multiple transfer targets on deadline day

Everton is engaged in significant transfer activity as the Premier League deadline approaches. The club is reportedly pursuing several key players to bolster its squad.

Tottenham Hotspur has reached an agreement in principle to sign Iliman Ndiaye from Everton for a fee believed to be up to £60 million. The deal is subject to medicals and personal terms. There is speculation regarding whether Tottenham will attempt to register the Senegalese international as a homegrown player.

In pursuit of attacking reinforcements, Everton has made an eleventh-hour loan bid for Manchester United forward Joshua Zirkzee. This move follows reports that the club's efforts to sign Folarin Balogun from Monaco may be complicated by a £40 million valuation and potential medical issues.

Other potential arrivals at Everton include Ainsley Maitland-Niles from Lyon, who is expected to arrive shortly to finalize a deal, and Jack Grealish, who is reportedly closing in on a loan move from Manchester City. Additionally, a deal for Richarlison is reportedly agreed at a fee of £15 million, potentially rising to £25 million with add-ons.
