Everton's four of their deadline day signings are expected to report to training this week.

The Blues made late swoops for Barcelona due Yerry Mina and Andre Gomes as well as Bernard and Kurt Zouma.

Everton boss Marco Silva expects Mina, Bernard and Zouma to all train with the squad ahead of next weekend's home game with Southampton although Gomes, carrying an injury from pre-season and likely to be sidelined for at least another two weeks, is set to carry on his rehab at Finch Farm.

Bernard has not played a competitive game since March after picking up a shoulder injury but Silva says he is ready to begin training with Everton.

"He is working," Silva told the ECHO.

"He had a problem in his shoulder but it is nothing special, it is not in the knee, he is ready to start work with us this week and then I will take my decision and what will be the best decision for us as a squad."

Bernard joined on a free transfer after leaving Shakhtar Donetsk earlier in the summer.

"I did my job, me and our board and Marcel we analysed everything and who was in the market," Silva explained.

"He is one player we know well, who would be free. When they are free is looks easy to sign but you need to convince the player, show the player our project, how he can improve our squad and what I expect from him.

"He is an important player because he has a different profile to what we have there in those positions and he has come to help us."
