Everton have some money to spend and a need for new signings on the final day of a transfer window that is crucial to the club's Premier League survival.
New manager Sean Dyche may only have been confirmed in his role on Monday but he met with director of football Kevin Thelwell at Finch Farm on Saturday and work to strengthen has been ongoing since. Dyche took his first training session on Monday afternoon as he started preparations for the home match with Arsenal at the weekend.
He will hope that by then he can welcome some new faces to a squad that was struggling for firepower even before the weekend sale of Anthony Gordon, the club's joint top goalscorer in the league. Gordon's move to Newcastle United in a deal that could reach £45m does, however, mean that Everton have some funds to play with.
