Hi Ed, keep reading about we're interested in Franck Kessie and Leon Baily 2 very highly rated young lads. Can you confirm any real interest? One last thing Ed do you believe we will make a January signing which will make a real statement of intent? Coyb

{Ed002's Note - I am not aware of any approach for Kessie from Everton and I would think, given other interested sides, that the chances of a move would be near zip. The asking price is very high indeed and the summer seems a more likely time for a move.

Genk's Leon Bailey is continuing to attract the attention of a number of sides, particularly those from England who would like a deal before the opportunity for him become home grown disappear. He has previously opted to turn down Chelsea for Genk where he knew opportunities would be better. Newcastle, Ajax, Crystal Palace, Manchester United and Napoli have all watched him recently and Napoli have had a couple of discussions with Genk with one of his representatives available. Efforts are being made by a sports agency to ease out the representatives he has now. Right now he is not ready for the EPL, so a loan would be likely if he were to move to England but I don't see any chance of a January move.}

Thanks once again Ed, do you think we'll be spending much more this month?

{Ed002's Note - I can tell you where there is interest in a player but I cannot predict if and when any transfer might happen. However, I think you can probably forget Ishak Belfodil following claims that Everton were completely unprofessional in trying to make the transaction happen.}

Ed does it look like we are going to go for berahino now that befodil is dead won't go for depay on a permanent. He looks like the last option as you said last resort thanks in advance

{Ed002's Note - I know nothing of Everton interest in Berahino - are the club that stupid?}

You never know ed he could come good? Have we shown interest in any other attacking player since the deal for belfodil collapsed? Thanks again.

{Ed025's Note - as far as we know eddy berahino has never been on the radar mate, other attackers have been looked at but there is nothing tangible at the moment..
