With just over an hour remaining in the transfer window, 26-year-old midfielder Besic is looking to leave Everton with his future at Goodison Park all but over after Marco Silva brought in three central midfielder this summer.

Andre Gomes signed a permanent deal after an excellent loan spell on Merseyside last season, while Fabian Delph has joined the club from Premier League champions Manchester City.

Following the sale of Idrissa Gueye to Paris Saint-Germain, Everton swooped to bring in Jean-Philippe Gbamin from Mainz. The club still boast Morgan Schneiderlin and Tom Davies in the middle of the park.
