So there it is, the January transfer window 'slams shut' for Everton and the rest of the Premier League.

And, while there were a whole host of rumours throughout the month on a number of potential incomings and outgoings for the Blues, it was a pretty quiet month on the whole.

Supporters were desperate for Marco Silva, Marcel Brands and co. to bring in a striker, but it seems those wishes will now have to wait until the summer.

Meanwhile, the latter days of the window brought a lot of speculation over the future of Idrissa Gueye, with Paris Saint-German interested in taking the midfielder.

However, the move didn't materialise, and the Senegalese international will be staying at Goodison Park until at least the summer.

That being said, here's the full list of deals involving Everton that DID go through over the course of January.

Mason Holgate - West Brom (loan)

At the start of the term, Mason Holgate was actually called on a little more than might have been expected.

Thanks to an injury to Yerry Mina, a suspension for Phil Jagielka and Kurt Zouma still striving for match fitness - the youngster was able to pick up a fair few appearances.

However, once others were fit and available, the centre-back soon dropped out of the side and struggled to find regular game time.

To remedy that, Holgate was sent out on loan to Championship promotion-chasers West Brom until the end of the season, having made six appearances for the Blues over the first half of this term.

Kieran Dowell - Sheffield United (loan)

After making a few appearances in pre-season, there might have been the slight hope that Kieran Dowell could impress Silva enough to pick up a few more minutes in the Premier League.

The midfielder spent last term at Nottingham Forest, hitting good form in the first half of the campaign before fading from January onwards.

However, the 21-year-old found his options limited at the start of the 2018/19 season, only making two League Cup appearances before a loan move to Sheffield United materialised at the start of January.

Shayne Lavery - Falkirk (loan)

2018 was a big year for Shayne Lavery, and his progression looks to have taken another step.

The striker has been part of Everton's youth setup since 2015 and has been impressive - so much so that he earned his first full Northern Ireland call up in May 2018.

Having made his Blues debut in the 3-0 win over Apollon Limassol last term, Lavery has now moved to Falkirk until the end of the season in a bid to pick up more first team football.

Joe Hilton - Marine (loan)

Goalkeeper Joe Hilton earned a new one-year contract in the summer of 2018, and has impressed at both U18 and U23 levels for the club.

Again looking for more first team minutes, the youngster has now moved to Marine for the remainder of the term.

Oumar Niasse - Cardiff City (loan)

Oumar Niasse's Everton career really has been an interesting one.

A big money signing who failed to hit the ground running and subsequently was frozen out by previous manager Ronald Koeman, the striker probably found his best Premier League form while on loan at Marco Silva's Hull City.

So with the boss now at Goodison Park, and with nine goals under his belt from 2017/18, Niasse might have thought his opportunities would be increased this term.

They weren't.

It was soon clear, after just seven appearances in all competitions at the start of this campaign, that the 28-year-old had become surplus to requirements - and relegation-battling Cardiff City swooped to bring him in on loan.

Cuco Martina - Feyenoord (loan)

Martina has completed a loan move to Feyenoord after his stay at Stoke City was cancelled.

The 29-year-old moved to the Championship club on a season-long loan in August but had fallen down the pecking order.

And the decision was taken on deadline day to scrap his spell at the bet365 Stadium so he could return to Holland for the rest of the campaign.

Martina is one of several players Everton are looking to offload on a permanent basis but there is currently no agreement over the defender's sale to the Eredivisie side.

Beni Baningime - Wigan Athletic (loan)

Baningime has been part of the first-team squad at Everton but after recovering from injury he has been unable to force his way into Marco Silva's thinking.

Callum Connolly - Bolton Wanderers (loan)

The versatile defender was on a season-long loan with Wigan but that was cancelled and he had made the switch to Bolton Wanderers for the rest of the campaign.

Antony Evans - Blackpool (loan)

Evans landed a loan move into League One for the rest of the season.

The Academy graduate will spend the remainder of the campaign with Blackpool.

Evans was on loan at Morecambe during the second-half of last season and will continue his development on the Fylde Coast until May.

Yannick Bolasie - Anderlecht (loan)

Bolasie completed a late deadline day loan move to Anderlecht.

The 29-year-old spent the evening in Brussels undergoing a medical and finalising terms on a deal until the end of the season.

Bolasie, earlier this month, cut his season-long at Aston Villa short but any hopes of forcing his way back into the frame at Everton were dashed by Marco Silva who said he did not feature in his plans.
