Everton are targeting deadline day deals for Enner Valencia and Moussa Sissoko.
Valencia is in talks with the Blues over a season-long loan from West Ham with a view to a permanent £14.5 million move after 12 months.
Ronald Koeman is attempting to lure the Ecuador international to Goodison Park after failing in his efforts to land Napoli striker Manolo Gabbiadini.
Meanwhile talks remain ongoing as Everton hope to convince Newcastle to part with Sissoko before the transfer window closes at 11pm tonight.
The France midfielder has been targeted by Koeman this summer but the Championship club’s £30 million price tag is understood to be an obstacle to progress.
Newcastle are willing to accept a fee in installments but it remains unclear whether Everton will stump up that asking price.
