After weeks of speculation and a major injury blow to Jack Grealish, Everton finally dipped into the market to secure the signing of highly-rated Chelsea winger Tyrique George. We discuss the details of the loan deal, the all-important option to buy, and exactly where the 19-year-old fits into David Moyes’ tactical setup for the remainder of the campaign.

But the real drama happened in the final hours. We discuss Dwight McNeil’s collapsed £20million move to Crystal Palace. How did the deal fall through at the eleventh hour? Was it a simple paperwork blunder, or is there more to the story?
