There are indications that Everton could be interested in Nigerian Super Eagles defender Ola Aina, as the transfer window reaches its final hours.
The 2026 summer transfer window for Premier League and EFL clubs closes tonight, Tuesday, September 1, at 11:00 PM BST, with major European leagues also shutting tonight.
Softfootball believes Everton manager David Moyes is looking to strengthen his defensive options following the retirement of long‑serving captain Seamus Coleman, and Aina has emerged as one of the club’s top targets.
With only a few hours remaining in the window, the question is whether this deal can pull through. The 29‑year‑old could be tempted to leave the City Ground, especially after Nottingham Forest brought in Colombian right‑back Daniel Muñoz from Crystal Palace in a £22 million deal.
