Everton and Tottenham informed whether they will be able to sign England international before deadline

Everton have placed a big emphasis on adding to their midfield in this transfer window.

The Toffees are now sitting on their first signing with an announcement believed to be imminent out of Goodison Park.

Everton have signed Carlos Alcaraz who inked his contract on Merseyside on Monday morning.

However, more midfield additions could be on the radar at Everton following the season-ending injury to Belgian Orel Mangala.

Everton are still keen on Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall whose Chelsea future remains uncertain ahead of the 11 pm deadline.

But there is one player who Everton have been informed will not be making his way to Goodison.

PSR remains a major issue for Everton with the Friedkins hindered in their attempts to spend during this transfer window.

Whether the summer window will provide some relief for Everton in terms of PSR remains to be seen.

But landing Gomes on a free in the summer would be a hugely positive bit of business for the Toffees both on and off the pitch.

One thing which is certain is that Gomes will receive a lot of interest ahead of becoming a free agent in the coming months.
