The winter transfer window will slam shut tonight and the race is on for clubs to get their business completed in time.
Everton, like a host of other clubs across Europe are, the ECHO understands, working on deals behind the scenes as they look to bolster their attacking options for the second half of the season. Liverpool meanwhile have been linked to a host of names, although any late business does look unlikely at this stage.
Clubs have until 11pm tonight to register their players and get their deals complete, otherwise they will be forced to wait until the summer. However, there is a way that clubs can squeeze a signing through the system beyond that deadline.
