Everton could be set for a rather busy end to the transfer window as Frank Lampard continues to mould his squad.
The Blues have already added James Tarkowski, Conor Coady, Amadou Onana, Dwight McNeil and Neal Maupay to their ranks this summer. The latter could be in line to make his debut in the Merseyside derby against Liverpool this weekend.
Despite several players already coming into the club this summer, the business may not have ended there. Here, we take a look at some of the other players who have been linked with a move to Everton before deadline day.

James Garner
Everton are said to be interested in signing Manchester United midfielder James Garner before the window closes.
Reports from various news outlets have claimed that the Blues are in pole position to complete a deal to sign the former Nottingham Forest loanee. It has been claimed that a £15million fee has been agreed with the Red Devils.
Idrissa Gueye
Everton are reportedly closing in on signing Paris Saint-Germain midfielder Idrissa Gueye.
A report in the Mail Online has claimed that Gueye has already said his goodbyes to his PSG team-mates, and is set to have a medical on Merseyside. It has been reported that Gueye will sign a two-year deal to return to Everton.
Mohammed Kudus
Everton continue to be linked with a move for Ajax playmaker Mohammed Kudus.
The Blues were reported to be closing in on a move for Kudus earlier this month, only for those suggestions to be denied over in the Netherlands. There have now been further reports claiming that Kudus has “refused to train” and is keen on moving to a new club before the deadline.
Ben Brereton-Diaz
Everton are one of a number of clubs who have been linked with a move for Blackburn Rovers striker Ben Brereton-Diaz.
According to the Mail Online , the Blues are keeping tabs on the forward, and could make a move before the window closes. It has also been claimed, though, that Brereton-Diaz is considering a free transfer to either Celta Vigo or Nice, with his contract set to expire at the end of the season.
Samuel Chukwueze
Everton are being linked with a move for Villarreal forward Samuel Chukwueze.
According to San Sebastian radio station, Radio Estadio , the Blues are in advanced negotiations to bring the forward to Goodison before the window closes. There have been further reports from Spain that a loan with an option to buy for €45million (£38.8million) has been discussed between the two clubs.
