Everton was active on deadline day.
While finalizing Tyrique George’s loan from Chelsea, which required a deal sheet extension, it appeared that Dwight McNeil was set to move to Crystal Palace for £20m.
However, Palace withdrew at the last minute, leaving McNeil and his partner visibly disappointed, something fans noticed online.
Earlier in the transfer window, Everton attempted to sign Youssef En-Nesyri and N’Golo Kante from Fenerbahce and Al Ittihad, but both players chose not to join.
Reports suggest that FIFA may have affected their attempts, as noted by Fabrizio Romano.
