According to journalist Fabrizio Romano, Everton are working on a deal to sign Alcaraz before the transfer window slams shut. The update claims that the Toffees are set to sign Alcaraz on loan with an obligation to buy if the player reaches a 'high number' of starts.

The Blues have been boosted by the arrival of David Moyes as manager in recent weeks, stringing together three successive wins in the Premier League to pull clear of relegation trouble. Even so, the club is looking to make moves before the deadline passes at 11 p.m..

Carlos Alcaraz sealed a transfer deadline day loan move to Everton from Flamengo on Monday. The Argentina under-23 international's deal runs until the end of the season, with Everton having the option to make the move permanent in the summer.
