Francisco Júnior set to sign as free agent
13/02/2012 40
Everton were today expected to complete a deal for highly-rated Portuguese midfielder Francisco Júnior.
Moyes linked with free-agent swoop
11/02/2012 1
Everton are reportedly interested in bringing in 20 year-old Portuguese midfield prospect Francisco Santos Silva Júnior.
The Guinea-Bissau-born player is apparently out of contract and has been a part of Manchester City's development programme after leaving Benfica last year.
Vellios considered for Foxes loan
08/02/2012 15
Leicester City are reportedly looking at Everton striker Apostolos Vellios as a possible target when the loan window re-opens today. However, sources close to the Merseyside club believe that Toffees manager David Moyes may be reluctant to loan out the 20-year-old Greece Under-21 forward after selling Louis Saha to Tottenham.
Spartak eyeing Heitinga
03/02/2012 37
Not content with having signed Diniyar Bilyaletdinov from Everton last week, Spartak Moscow are apparently interested in bringing John Heitinga to Russia as well before their transfer window closes in the middle of this month.
At a mere £4.2m, though, and with David Moyes short on fit centre halves, that's got to be a non-starter.
Heitinga has two and a half years left on his current contract and would surely command a transfer fee of at least double this reported amount.
Everton too small for Gignac
02/02/2012 30
Andre-Pierre Gignac says he turned down the chance to join Everton in January because the club is not big enough.
Moyes prepares to sell Silva

Everton could cash in on young Portuguese striker Joao Silva, with clubs in Romania apparently interested in landing him before their transfer deadline in mid-February.
Pienaar coming back to Goodison?
31/01/2012 21
Speculation was rife this evening that while Louis Saha is set to make a surprise move to Tottenham, Steven Pienaar could be returning to Goodison Park on a loan-to-buy basis, although reports suggesting the South African was on his way to Finch Farm were quashed with sightings of him on the pitch at White Hart Lane around 6.30pm.
Adam Johnson on loan?
31/01/2012 1
According to The Mirror, Everton are trying to seal a last-minute deal to take Adam Johnson on loan for the rest of the season.
Rather Rum Rodallega Rumour
