Everton are likely to sign a couple of players on transfer deadline day as the club moves closer to appointing Frank Lampard in the manager’s dugout at Goodison Park.
What’s the word?
This has been a chaotic transfer window for the Toffees and on deadline day this Monday, it’s set to get even crazier.
As well as being on the verge of appointing Lampard, they are set to welcome Donny van de Beek to the club on loan from Manchester United.
But, the new boss won’t stop there in his pursuit of new signings according to reporter Alan Myers.
Is van de Beek a good signing for Everton?
Yes
No
The journalist was asked on Twitter on Sunday whether the Dutchman would be the club’s final addition but he responded; “I doubt it.”
Myers then added in another tweet: “I’d guess 2 to 3 [signings] maybe.”
Fans buzzing
After all of the protest and rage that has engulfed Goodison this month, it looks as though Everton are set to end the month on a high.
The appointment of Lampard is ambitious and will take the club in a new direction after the previously appointed Carlo Ancelotti and Rafa Benitez; two individuals with far more coaching experience under their belts.
However, what Lampard has in common with those two, is a lure, particularly for young English players or footballers looking to get their careers back on track.
Van de Beek perfectly fits that description and with Jesse Lingard and Dele Alli also on the club’s radar, this could be a captivating finish to the window.
Myers doesn’t mention who may follow the Man United midfielder through the door but the fact that Lampard is wasting no time in looking to strengthen his squad should be music to the ears of supporters.
After all, this is a team that sit in 16th place in the Premier League after just one win in their last 14 top-flight encounters.
