Deadline-day collapse leaves Everton striker short as Balogun deal falls through
TL;DR Summary
Everton's £40m bid for Folarin Balogun collapsed on deadline day due to medical issues, leaving the club with only Thierno Barry as a recognised striker for the season's start; loans for Joshua Zirkzee or Tammy Abraham were rejected and a late Monaco renegotiation failed as Balogun walked away. The window also saw Ainsley Maitland-Niles added at right-back, funds raised from selling Ndiaye, Beto, Iroegbunam and Patterson, and Jack Grealish returning to Everton on a season-long loan from City.
