Everton will explore the possibility of signing Marcos Rojo from Manchester United before the transfer deadline closes, with United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer open to him leaving after signing Harry Maguire, according to Mail Online.
The Toffees would rather sign the Argentine defender on an initial loan deal, with his injury record a concern for the club, who are still looking to increase their defensive options before the transfer deadline.
Everton have been forced to look at emergency options after a loan arrangement for Chelsea’s Fikayo Tomori appears to have fallen through following David Luiz’ surprise departure to Arsenal.
