Everton have three potential signings on their radar today with Ben Johnson and Andre Ayew all believed to be options.

What's the latest?

Sean Dyche as confirmed as the successor to Frank Lampard on Monday and has been left with just a matter of hours to potentially bring in some new faces to his squad.

The Toffees are yet to sign any players so far this month and have seen the likes of Anthony Gordon leave the club in recent days.

And Dyche has made it clear he is hoping to see some new recruits added to his squad in the fight against relegation in the coming hours:

"We’ve already had a look at some and we will be meeting again today about what is there, what we can affect," he told EvertonTV.

With the clock ticking, chief Football reporter Sami Mokbel has suggested there are three targets the Toffees are looking at as real options on deadline day:

(7:30) "But what we understand today is that they're in for West Ham's right-back Ben Johnson. There is some debate, however, whether West Ham are willing to let him go or any players leave this month given their situation."

He later went on to say: "Andre Ayew is another one who's a free agent, is another one that they're trying to get over the line today. They will be busy at Goodison today."

Late arrivals

It has been a difficult start to the campaign for the Toffees who sit second-bottom in the Premier League table only to Southampton on goal difference.

And this has certainly been a difficult transfer window for Everton who have lost perhaps their biggest asset in Gordon to Newcastle United.

However, in return they did receive up to £45m which is seemingly not going to sit in the bank account with the board appearing to be eyeing up three targets ahead of the 11pm deadline.

Only one other side has scored fewer goals than Everton (15) this season and three of those league goals came through Gordon who has now departed.

In a player like Ayew, Dyche could be bringing in a player with good Premier League experience but has recently been playing his football out in Qatar.

Whilst Everton's defence has faired pretty well thus far, the addition of West Ham United's Johnson will do them no harm but there will surely be concerns over the impact the two attacking targets may be able to provide.
