Everton are actively pursuing several deals as the transfer deadline approaches.
The Toffees remain linked with Evan Ferguson, who is available for a six-month loan after falling behind Joao Pedro and Danny Welbeck in Brighton’s pecking order.
Everton are also showing interest in Elias Jelert, who has impressed during his time at Turkish giants Galatasaray this season.
Hamza Igamane is another player reportedly on Everton’s radar, indicating that the club’s leadership is gearing up for a hectic final stretch of the window, which closes on February 3rd.
There are also widespread reports that Angelo Preciado is close to becoming David Moyes’ first signing, and an old viral video of the Ecuador international has recently resurfaced.
Preciado gained attention for a fiery moment in an Under-20 Copa Libertadores semi-final between Independiente del Valle and River Plate Montevideo in February 2018.
During the match, a mass brawl broke out after the final whistle, and Preciado grabbed a corner flag to fend off an approaching group of Montevideo players, waving it in their direction to disperse the chaos.
The incident quickly went viral, making its way around the football world.
Juan Carlos Leo, Preciado’s manager at the time, stated that the outburst was unusual for the player, adding that he had matured significantly since.
Despite picking up five suspensions since then, Preciado, now 26, has developed a more composed reputation in Europe and appears ready for a move to the Premier League, with Everton being the leading contenders at this point.
