William Mirwasser
On Wednesday, it was reported that Hong Kong FC defender William Mirwasser has received interest from Everton, Championship side Blackburn Rovers, and other European clubs. The 17-year-old, who wants to return to Europe, is in contact with both the Toffees and Blackburn. During the recent international break, Mirwasser visited the training centres of both English clubs and also plans to visit RC Strasbourg and US Lecce in November. According to a source close to the player, the purpose of these trips is to see the facilities and discuss his future. The source added that nothing is decided, that he is taking time to explore all options, and that he will commit to a new club next summer. FIFA regulations prevent Mirwasser from leaving Hong Kong FC until he turns 18 next August, and interested clubs will have to wait until August 28th, 2027, to sign him.
Luis Binks
Scottish and English centre-back Luis Binks, 25, has been linked with Everton, largely after his first senior Scotland call-up, but sources have not confirmed that the interest is concrete, as of Wednesday. While there is less activity regarding the situation in England, there is serious interest from Serie A and the Bundesliga. Sources confirmed that both Bologna and Udinese are monitoring the Brøndby defender. Binks was previously a player at Bologna for four years, and Udinese has made enquiries. Additionally, sources state that more than one Bundesliga club has asked about his situation, though no formal approach has yet been made. Brøndby are reportedly not under pressure to sell, as sources indicate the player's contract runs until the summer of 2030.
Teun Koopmeiners
Everton are continuing to monitor Teun Koopmeiners ahead of the January transfer window, as of an update on Tuesday. The Juventus midfielder is potentially available after his standing in the team was reduced in Turin. After being linked with a move to Goodison Park during the summer, Everton have not abandoned their interest, according to Football Insider. Koopmeiners is understood to be receptive to the possibility of leaving Turin, and Juventus are reportedly prepared to consider either a permanent transfer or a loan agreement this winter.
Alejandro Balde
On Saturday, it was reported that Barcelona have contacted Everton as they seek to arrange the departure of Alejandro Balde and make funds available for spending. Barcelona are prepared to let the 22-year-old Spanish defender leave on loan in January because his first-team opportunities have been limited. According to TEAMtalk, Everton is among several Premier League clubs that have been contacted by his representatives, who are working with Barcelona's permission to determine the level of interest ahead of the transfer window. The same report states that Manchester United, Liverpool, Sunderland, and Fulham have also been approached about a potential deal. Balde is said to be open to a move to England, and while a loan is currently being considered, the exact structure of any potential agreement is not yet clear.
Fikayo Tomori
Milan is considering offers for 28-year-old defender Fikayo Tomori, whose contract expires at the end of the season, according to a report from Friday. The club would prefer to negotiate a transfer rather than lose him for free next summer. The English player has been offered to several Premier League clubs ahead of the January transfer window. It is reported that intermediaries have already spoken with a number of teams including Everton, Tottenham, Newcastle, Crystal Palace, and Fulham. Newly-promoted Coventry is also a potential destination, where manager Frank Lampard would reportedly be happy to reunite with Tomori after their time together at Chelsea.
Owen Emeka
It was reported on Saturday that Everton is one of several Premier League clubs tracking Owen Emeka, a 17-year-old winger for Granada. Arsenal and Newcastle United have also been named as interested parties. The Spanish prospect, who recently made his senior debut, could potentially be available for a low price. Additionally, Soccernet has reported that Emeka has a release clause valued at €15 million.
Ruben Loftus-Cheek
According to Team Talk on Friday, AC Milan have offered Ruben Loftus-Cheek to multiple Premier League clubs before the January transfer window, and intermediaries have discussed his availability with Everton. AC Milan are reportedly willing to transfer Loftus-Cheek to create squad space and have greater flexibility in the January market and are willing to listen to offers. The player is in the final six months of his contract at San Siro, and neither his representatives nor Milan have yet held talks over a new deal. Milan are prepared to explore options for the player rather than risk him leaving for free next summer, with the possibility of loans also being considered as the January window approaches.
