Everton are hoping to sign midfield and attacking reinforcements before the close of the transfer window.

The Blues have already signed Richarlison and are closing in on Lucas Digne while negotiations over a deal for Yerry Mina are on going.

Marco Silva said Everton could make up to six signings this summer, if the quality is available, but the Blues have less than 10 days to complete any permanent transfers.

Silva is keen to add competition for places at Goodison and so he and director of football Marcel Brands are looking to sign a midfielder to put pressure on Morgan Schneiderlin, in the No6 position, and are also eyeing a forward.

Mo Besic has been back-up to Schneiderlin in pre-season but it is expected he will leave Goodison this summer and Everton would look to plug the gap with a new signing.

Everton have scored only two goals this summer following their 22-0 drubbing of ATV Irdning and so are on the look-out for an attacker.

Cenk Tosun appears to be Silva's first-choice while the Portuguese coach has confirmed that Oumar Niasse is part of his plans.

Dominic Calvert-Lewin has yet to play in pre-season as the club manage his return from a back injury.

The window shuts a week on Thursday at 5pm
