With just over a week left of the summer transfer window, things are hotting up for Everton.

A move for Moise Kean is firmly in the pipeline and the Blues continue to be linked with a whole host of players ahead of the August 8 deadline.

Everton have already brought in Jonas Lossl and Fabian Delph, while also turning Andre Gomes' stay into a permanent one at Goodison Park.

And while Kean remains likely to become the fourth through the doors of Finch Farm as it stands, Marco Silva's men are still being linked with a number of others.

Here's what was doing the rounds on the rumour mill on Tuesday.

Reinier Jesus

Who? Reports out of Brazil on Tuesday evening have claimed that Everton have reached a deal to sign Flamengo's Reinier Jesus.

Where? Brazilian reporters Marcelo Bechler and Bruno Formiga claim - via Sport Witness - that a €40million fee has been agreed for the January transfer window when the player turns 18.

Sport Witness write: "Bechler was the guy who called Neymar’s transfer from Barcelona to PSG and had all the details before anyone else.

"Anyway, it’s stated: 'Everton have an outline agreement with Reinier for a transfer in the winter market. He turns 18 on January 19th 2020, so that’s the earliest he’d be able to move to Europe anyway.

"'A transfer will cost Everton around €40m, according to the claims, and if this report is correct then it sounds like the player will be off to Goodison Park, unless someone else manages to hijack the deal.'"

What? This would be a huge deal for the Blues - but would they really pay roughly the same fee they paid to land Gylfi Sigurdsson and Richarlison to sign a teenager who isn't 18 until next year? The Blues are surely more preoccupied with transfers for August, at present.

Who? You'll remember the name - Malcom - the player who was regularly linked with the Blues 12 months ago. He was close to joining Roma before the move was hijacked by Barcelona. He is now once more appearing on the Everton radar.

Where? The Daily Mail report: "Everton have launched a £40 million bid for Barcelona forward Malcom, according to reports in Spain.

"The 22-year-old moved to the Nou Camp in a £41 move from Bordeaux last summer but made just six league appearances. With Antoine Griezmann joining Barca this month, Malcom is way down the pecking order, and he is keen to play more first team football elsewhere.

"Everton's move comes after Zenit Saint-Petersburg looked set to seal a deal for the Brazilian, with a move comprised of a £35m down payment and £5m in add-ons. However, Spanish newspaper Diario Sport have reported that Barca are keen to negotiate with the Blues, despite the player agreeing a six-year deal with Zenit."

What? A rumours rated regular! Everton were not interested in Malcom last year and the ECHO understands that still to be the case.

Jean-Philippe Gbamin

Who? Everton are being linked with Mainz's versatile midfielder Jean-Philippe Gbamin as a replacement for the PSG-bound Idrissa Gueye.

Where?The Express claim: "Everton are closing in on the signing of Jean-Philippe Gbamin from Mainz and an agreement could be reached tonight, despite seeing their opening offer rejected.

"A first bid of £23million for the Ivory Coast international has been rejected by the Bundesliga club, while negotiations remain ongoing this evening.

"Marco Silva has earmarked Gbamin to the board as the man he wants to replace Idrissa Gana Gueye, who completed a £28million move to Paris Saint-Germain."

What? The Blues will undoubtedly be in the market for tough-tackling midfielder to replace the one they have just lost in Gueye. Mario Lemina is being looked at from Southampton and Gbamin continues to be linked. This one could have legs.
