New Everton boss Sean Dyche has confirmed the club are working on potential signings.
The former Burnley manager, 51, is tasked with the job of leading the Toffees to Premier League safety after taking the hotseat yesterday.
And he is already working closely with director of football Kevin Thelwell to bolster the squad he has inherited.
Dyche said: “When I got the great news from the chairman and owner about becoming manager, I was really pleased about that obviously.
“But straight away we were working with Kevin about the lists, the players. We’ve already had a look at some and will be meeting again about what there is, what we can affect.”
Chelsea midfielder Conor Gallagher, 22, has been linked with a switch to Goodison Park.
Marquinhos set for Norwich
Norwich are close to signing Arsenal winger Marquinhos on loan for the rest of the season.
The 19-year-old Brazilian has had a medical and it is understood the deal should be announced later this morning.
He has made six appearances since joining the Gunners last summer but is expected to get more first-team experience as David Wagner’s men chase promotion from the Championship.
Arsenal chase Russo
Manchester United have rejected a world-record bid for Alessia Russo — but the Arsenal striker could still move before the Women’s Super League transfer window closes at 5pm GMT.
After failing in their attempts to persuade Russo to sign a new deal, United turned down an approach from the Gunners last night.
The 23-year-old England star will be a free agent this summer but the North Londoners are keen to bolster their attacking options as they chase reigning WSL champs Chelsea and Marc Skinner’s leaders.
With a game in hand, Arsenal are just three points behind their title rivals and two ahead of Manchester City in fourth.
The rejected fee is understood to have been more than the £400,000 Barcelona splashed out on Lionesses midfielder Keira Walsh last September.
Russo has scored 17 goals in 35 WSL appearances for United since joining from North Carolina Tar Heels three years ago and netted 10 times in 17 caps for England, including four during their Euro 2022 triumph.
Earlier this month, Chelsea sold striker Bethany England to Tottenham for a domestic record fee for a British player in the women’s game.
Spurs reportedly paid £250,000 and broke the previous record set by Lauren James’ £200,000 move from United to the Blues in 2021.
