Transfer speculation continues to mount as Hector Fort has been linked in recent days with a move to Everton. The defender, currently playing for Barcelona, could add a new dimension to the squad if the rumoured interest turns into an official approach before the end of the transfer window. While Everton and Barcelona continue talks, no breakthrough has been reported. Elche, West Ham and Aston Villa reportedly may still have an interest, but currently the focus is on getting this deal across the line. Everton's back line has been a real strength this season, conceding just 1.0 goals per game (7 in 7). Hector Fort would be expected to slot into that unit and hold his own in an already solid setup. Barcelona continue to be linked with Ibrahima Konate, Christopher Nkunku and Murillo Santiago Costa dos Santos while Everton are also rumoured to be tracking Kellen Fisher, Malick Fofana and Artem Dovbyk.
