'No big plans for January' - Everton set for quiet January transfer window, says director of football

Everton's director of football Marcel Brands has confirmed that the club are not going to make any big signings in the transfer window, saying that there are "no big plans for January".

The Toffees were very active last summer, splashing out almost £50 million on Richarlison, whilst they also brought in a trio of Barcelona players in Lucas Digne, Yerry Mina and Andre Gomes on either permanent or loan deals.

In recent days, Everton have been linked with Porto’s Yacine Brahimi and Boca Juniors’ Wilmar Barrios, but Brands is planning for a quiet month, with his priority being to keep the club's best players in January rather than bring new ones in.
