Vegard Forren
The Norwegian defender (above) has been linked with a move from Molde and if you believe some reports then the deal is fairly close to being done.
Craig Gordon
Could join on a deal similar to Thomas Hitzlsperger but due to the keeper being plagued by injuries any deal could be more complicated than it first appears despite the goalkeeper being available on a free.
Vadis Odjidja-Ofoe
David Moyes could rekindle his interest in the Brugge midfielder in January after a deal to bring him to Everton collapsed after failing to beat the transfer deadline a few months back.
PLAYERS LINKED WITH LEAVING
UPDATE: Nikica Jelavic
The Croatian striker has been out of form by the high standards he has set for himself and not looked his normal self during the first part of the season. Rumours of a clash with Kevin Mirallas after the derby game have come out and speculated that Jelavic may want to move. Even last season he seemed a bit miserable at times but I think that's just the way he can come across sometimes so I wouldn't really read too much into it at the moment.
Sylvain Distin
The manager has made clear he is behind giving Distin and Neville new deals and it seems he may get his wish. The French defender is likely to sign a new one year contract in the coming months.
Phil Neville
Neville will probably also sign a new short term extension before he takes his first steps into coaching, whether that will be with Everton remains to be seen. I think both Distin and Neville like Moyes will sign a one year deal at the least before reevaluate their situations the following summer.
John Heitinga
Linked with a possible return to Ajax in 2014 so could see out his current deal and then leave on a free. A lot will depend on how Everton progress in that period.
Jan Mucha
Linked with a move away for a while but Jan is still here. He wants first team football but seems in no rush to get it, however his contract expires in the summer so he could leave then.
Leighton Baines
Linked with a move to Manchester United, however despite the persistent rumours there is no substance to the speculation and the defender seems relatively happy to stay at Everton.
Marouane Fellaini
Everton could find it hard to keep the big Belgium in the summer should we not qualify for the Champions League which in all honesty may be a little out of reach for us this season sadly unless we begin to perform more consistenly and steer clear of injuries! So there are a lot of if's and buts with regard to Fellaini's future and hopefully he will remain a blue! Chelsea and Manchester City are rumoured to be interested but personally if he did leave I hope he will move abroad to Real Madrid or someone.
