• Moyes said Everton have money to spend and are pursuing additions before the window closes but deals have been hard to complete after missing out on several targets.
• Brighton head coach Fabian Hurzeler praised Jack Grealish as an unbelievable talent and warned his players about Everton’s organisation and clever set-piece moments.
