Everton FC transfer news today sees Roberto Martinez looking to sign Manchester United's Adnan Januzaj in a late deadline day deal.

But the Belgian international will have to inform Manchester United of his desire to leave if he is to complete a loan move to Goodison Park.

Roberto Martinez is reportedly a firm admirer of the 19-year-old, who has struggled to establish himself under Louis van Gaal.

And the Everton manager is ready to test United’s resolve by making a late move for the starlet.

Martinez would like Januzaj to provide a mid-season boost but even if he cannot pull off a deal today, he will renew his interest in the summer - targeting a permanent transfer.

He knows it will require Januzaj asking for a move, if he is to have any chance of luring him away from United in this window.

Van Gaal is adamant the versatile forward will not be allowed to leave midway through the campaign - blocking Paris st Germain's attempts to take him to France.

Tottenham are aiming to sign Everton's Kevin Mirallas before tonight's 11pm transfer deadline, and are willing to include Aaron Lennon as part of the deal.

Mirallas has just 18 months remaining on his contract, and Mauricio Pochettino is keen to bring the winger to north London as he looks to make a surge for Champions League qualification.

According to the Daily Mail, Spurs have already seen a £3million bid rejected by Roberto Martinez's team.

Reports suggest Martinez is holding out for £5m as well as Lennon, and it is understood that Daniel Levy is now ready to sign off on the bid.

Finally the Italian media are suggesting Everton sent scouts to watch the league game between Cesena and Lazio to monitor Cesena winger Gregoire Defrel.

TMW have revealed that Everton scouts watched the 2-1 Cesena victory with Defrel on hand to score his side’s first goal in their shock win over the bigger Serie A club from Rome.

The 23-year-old played the full 90 minutes and Everton may make a late bid to sign him before tonight's transfer deadline.
