Everton on Transfer Deadline Day 2024 Live | Broja done as Toffees make late loan move (2024)

LIVE BLOG

2am BST

CONFIRMED!

Everton have pulled it off, there's the confirmation. Incredible how much easier it is to execute transfers when there's only one person making the decisions at this club?

1:45am BST

Done deal, seems like

Still no official confirmation from the club but major media sources are saying this is done.

1am BST

Still news of signings trickling in (see previous post), no confirmation on Broja as yet.

12:30am BST

Don’t go anywhere

Here you thought Everton were all done and you could go to bed now? Nope!!

Lots of activity everywhere, a total of nine deal sheets are in: Raheem Sterling (Chelsea to Arsenal, done), Jadon Sancho (Manchester United to Chelsea), Armando Broja (Chelsea to Everton, done), Trevoh Chalobah (Chelsea to Crystal Palace, done), Carlos Forbs (Ajax to Wolves, done), Reiss Nelson (Arsenal to Fulham, done), Maxwel Cornet (West Ham to Southampton, done), Matt Turner (Nottingham Forest to Crystal Palace, done), & Edouard Odsonne (Crystal Palace to Leicester City, done).

11:11pm BST

The Broja-mance Lives On!!

Wherever Armando Broja is concerned Everton are always nearby, I have no idea why to be honest. But reports are Everton do have a deal sheet in as they attempt to nab Broja on loan after his move to Ipswich fell through!! They have just under two hours to get the paperwork all done. The proposed deal is for a season-long loan with an option to buy for £30million.

More from The Athletic on Broja’s failed moved to Ipswich - the Tractor Boys wanted the package revised on the player given that he would be out until mid-October with a foot injury, and the two clubs couldn’t agree on a deal. Now the Toffees will try to make a deal with Chelsea.

11pm BST

Window Shut!

Pencils down everyone! The 2024 summer transfer window is now closed. If there are any deals still in progress they may still advance with a deal sheet, as long as negotiations had reached a certain stage.

There’s transfers falling through everywhere now - Ernest Nuamah’s move from Lyon to Fulham has collapsed. Ipswich Town’s double attempt at getting Reiss Nelson and Armando Broja has also not worked out.

Everton’s magic number is seven, that’s how many players the Toffees have brought in over the summer.

10:55pm BST

Bye Bye Mason

I do believe we have now see the back of Mason Holgate as an Everton player.

10:50pm BST

Back for DCL?

Chelsea have failed in their long-winded pursuit of Victor Osimhen, and having missed out on Ivan Toney earlier, could they return for a late, late bid on DCL?

10:45pm BST

Nuamah drama!

Just goes to show, can’t take anything for granted on deadline day.

10:15pm BST

Holgate to the Baggies

Everton are desperate to offload Mason Holgate, now it looks like he could be going on loan to West Bromwich Albion.

10pm BST

Blues out of Nuamah chase

Despite Lyon’s best attempts at selling the player to us, looks like we’re done with that discussion. Still no fullback being linked, by the way.

9:30pm BST

Super Kev Tribute

We interrupt our regular programming for a note about tomorrow’s home game where the club will pay tribute to the late Kevin Campbell.

9:15pm BST

Blues in for Almiron?

Everton have apparently sounded out Newcastle for winger Miguel Almiron!

9pm BST

Reiss Nelson latest linked

Arsenal’s Reiss Nelson apparently is the latest winger we’re talking to, but looks like Ipswich Town have the lead on the youngster.

8pm BST

Nuamah three way battle!

It appears Lyon winger Ernest Nuamah is still in play!

7:45pm BST

Mangala confirmation

There was a hiccup or two in getting the midfielder on Merseyside, but once he arrived last night this was never in doubt.

7:30pm BST

Okoronkwo loan confirmed

6:45pm BST

What’s that then?

Trying to wrap my head around this one, and all the fun activity we have going on with Olympique Lyonnais. Is this John Textor already being an owner - he owns Lyon remember?

6pm BST

All is quiet

Not a peep from the usual Everton sources in the last hour or so. Since it’s likely this club can pull off a completely hush-hush deal, it likely just means that there’s no more incomings once the Mangala deal is sealed.

4:30pm BST

Transfer window closing times tonight

The Premier League transfer window will close at 23:00 BST (6pm EST) tonight, same as the English Football League and Scotland.

Across Europe, the Bundesliga window will close at 19:00 (2pm EST), Ligue 1 at 22:00 (5pm EST) and for Serie A and La Liga it’ll be 23:00 BST (6pm EST).

4:15pm BST

Crellin loan confirmed

Youth goalie Billy Crellin will also being going out on loan, to League Two Accrington Stanley as previously reported.

3:45pm BST

Okoronkwo off on loan

Everton youth forward Francis Okoronkwo will be joining League Two Salford City on a season-long loan.

3:30pm BST

Holgate permanent move falls through!

This would have been great if it worked, with Olympique Lyonnais looking to do the Toffees a huge favour taking Mason Holgate off the books.

3:10pm BST

Holgate interest

Sheffield Wednesday are asking about the unwanted Everton defender Mason Holgate.

2:45pm BST

Djankpata gone

As we’d heard earlier in the day, Halid Djankpata has joined Spezia in Italy. More details to come.

2:15pm BST

More on DCL

There’s more information on Chelsea’s interest in DCL coming out now.

2pm BST

Mangala.. and done?

Not hearing of any other leads right now, for wingers, fullbacks or indeed anywhere else.

12:45pm BST

Chelsea cool DCL interest

Now that one came from nowhere eh? Big difference in valuation though between Everton and Chelsea on Dominic Calvert-Lewin, and it appears the Toffees were not that interested in David Datro Fofana either.

12:30pm BST

No more Nuamah?

Everton had been linked with Olympique Lyon winger Ernest Nuamah, but it looks like Fulham will be snapping him up.

12:15pm BST

Metcalfe goes on loan

Midfielder Jenson Metcalfe has been one of the Blues in-form young players early this season, and he goes out on loan to League Two Chesterfield.

12:00pm BST

Youth update

There’s going to be a flurry of activity with the youth sides today.

Jenson Metcalfe will be going on loan to League Two side Chesterfield.

Billy Crellin will join League Two Accrington Stanley F.C. also on loan.

Halid Djankpata is expected to be sold to Serie B side Spezia.

11:30am BST

Danjuma moving again

Despite scoring twice in the first three games of the season, Villarreal forward Arnaut Danjuma is on the move again, going to fellow La Liga side Girona on loan.

10am BST

Bye Neal

First deal of the day confirmed! As expected the polarizing Neal Maupay has left for Marseille on loan with an obligation to buy. Everton are set to make €6million, and bonuses could take the total to about €10m.

I’m not sure Evertonians will miss him, and vice versa.

9:45am BST

Chelsea want DCL?!

That kinda came out of nowhere.

8:45am BST

Mangala medical

The midfielder’s medical is underway.

7am BST

So, here we go?

The only main leads we have on today is that Orel Mangala is coming in for a medical to become our third loan signing, while Neal Maupay is headed out also on a loan deal.
Beyond that, will Newcastle or Manchester United make a play for Dominic Calvert-Lewin? How about an Italian side for Beto? Will the Toffees then have enough time to react by moving for winger Ernest Nuamah? And will the Blues also bring in fullback Lorenz Assignon?

Welcome to RBM’s transfer deadline day live blog. It could well be a busy day for Everton, but with the Toffees looking like they have already used up three of their possible four loan slots and little to no money to spend, don’t expect more than one or two more incoming players. The right back picture is slowly getting better with Seamus Coleman now returning, but a younger player at that position might be very nice to have, with Lorenz Assignon now being mentioned as well.

In the outgoings department though there might be some movement. Neal Maupay’s departure on loan to Olympique Marseille is just about done. There is still a question mark over whether it will be Dominic Calvert-Lewin or Beto starting and the other going out the door, though it will not be surprising to see both stay.

Abdoulaye Doucoure is off to an abysmal start this season, and with the Saudi Pro League transfer deadline still open for another week or so, he could well still be moving soon to provide the Toffees with some salary relief.

Beyond that it’ll likely be more youngsters going out on season-long loans to the lower leagues for further exposure. Harrison Armstrong has impressed among men, but will Dyche choose to keep him with the squad or let him develop his game on loan?
