Multiple sources have confirmed that Everton have officially submitted a bid for John McGinn. The offer for the Aston Villa midfielder had been speculated for a number of weeks, but represents the first concrete bid for the player. While negotiations continue, they are said to be progressing. Newcastle have not withdrawn their interest and could still influence the outcome. Everton are only scoring 1.17 goals per game (7 in 6) this season, which suggests they need more creativity in the middle. John McGinn would be seen as the link to raise the tempo and feed the attack. Aston Villa have also been linked with Alex Remiro, Mateus Fernandes and Gabriel while Everton are reportedly monitoring John Victor and Assane Diao Diaoune.
