Everton sending out another fullback, still no sign of any incoming
Patterson will be leaving for Torino, but with Tete and Bard off the table, who are Everton bringing in?
Liverpool-based Everton are closing in on a deal to sell Nathan Patterson to Italian Serie A side Torino. The 24-year-old Scot is set to undergo a medical ahead of the permanent transfer deadline day. This leaves Vitaliy Mykolenko as the only fullback in the Everton squad, with no right-back signed yet. Earlier, reports suggested Everton were close to signing Fulham's Kenny Tete, but negotiations with Rayo Vallecano fell through, leaving manager Alvaro Arbeloa without a backup for the Ukrainian international.
The search for a right-back has been a long-standing issue for the Toffees, with Melvin Bard joining Leeds United on loan for €1M, with a potential buy option at €5M.
