All you need to know about Transfer Deadline Day

August 26, 2026 marked Transfer Deadline Day for Premier League club Everton at their home ground, Finch Farm. Early into the sunny morning, the official transfer tracker, RBM, reported that three moves were confirmed. Iliman Ndiaye was set to join Manchester City, Beto would head to Fiorentina, and Tim Iroegbunam was on his way to Hull City. It appeared that Nathan Patterson was still in need of a new home, with West Ham interested in signing Michael Keane.

In addition, a loan deal for Jack Grealish was discussed, as well as the possibility of Folarin Balogun joining Monaco. However, Richarlison's future remained uncertain, as a Turkish club had made a stronger offer than Everton. There were also rumors surrounding Kenny Tete, whose move from Fulham to Everton was being blocked. Meanwhile, Melvin Bard was considered a potential backup left-back, but any progress on that move was still unknown.

On the loan side, Everton could use up one of their two permitted domestic loan slots with Grealish. However, no further details were provided on other potential loans. The summer transfer window closes at 11 p.m. UK time on September 1, with the option for an extra two-hour period for clubs who have already submitted deal sheets. After the deadline, no more incoming transfers will be allowed, although outgoing sales can still occur in countries with open transfer windows.
