  "account": "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.",
