Everton transfer news: Lampard 'might do one more signing' before 11pm deadline

Dean Jones believes that Everton could still do one more deal before the transfer window closes this evening.

The Toffees have secured the signing of Donny van de Beek on loan from Manchester United and are closing in on the signing of Dele Alli from Tottenham Hotspur, too.

Earlier in the window, under the management of Rafael Benitez, they signed Vitaliy Mykolenko from Dynamo Kyiv and Nathan Patterson from Rangers, while also securing the loan signing of Anwar El Ghazi from Aston Villa.

The club have also signed Van de Beek from United on deadline day and reports suggest that they are now closing in on a deal to sign Dele from Spurs on a permanent basis.

That deal could rise to £30m, per The Guardian, if certain add-ons are met, and Jones now reports that the club could move for further new additions before the deadline.

Time, of course, is running out, with the window set to shut at 11pm and there being precious little time to add further names to Frank Lampard’s squad following his appointment as Rafael Benitez’s successor.

Speaking to GiveMeSport, he said: "So I think, if Lampard has said to them in his talks that there's a certain area of the field that needs strengthening, then I do think that they would look at options.

"It's not going to be a multi-million pound deal, I'm sure, at this point. [If they can find] someone that reflects Lampard's attitude and personality on the pitch then they might do one more."
