Everton are reportedly considering a January move for Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Harry Winks.

The Toffees were keen on bolstering their central midfield options this summer, but they were unsuccessful in doing so.

They attempted to sign Donny van de Beek on loan from Manchester United, but the Red Devils refused to do business.

It is unclear whether Van de Beek will be available in January. The Toffees are now lining up alternative transfer targets.

Winks is one of the players on their radar. The Englishman has played just 60 minutes of Premier League football this term.

He is open to a temporary move at the turn of the year, and it is claimed that the Toffees would agree to such an arrangement.

The Merseyside outfit are working on a restricted budget this summer amid concerns over exceeding the Financial Fair Play limit.

They have some leeway to spend in January after offloading James Rodriguez, who was earning a staggering £200,000-a-week.
