Everton are expected to be active in the January transfer window.

With the January transfer window open, we take a look at how Everton’s squad could look at the end of the month.

Goalkeeper: Joel Robles

Everton will be in the market for a goalkeeper, but it may be that Ronald Koeman waits until the summer before bringing in a new number one.

Left-back: Leighton Baines

Baines’ place in Everton’s first-team looks relatively safe for now.

Centre-back: Virgil Van Dijk

Williams may not have made the perfect start at Everton, but he is still a very solid option.

Right-back: Seamus Coleman

The Republic of Ireland international has been one of Everton’s best players so far this season.

Attacking midfield: Ross Barkley

Barkley has flourished in recent weeks, and now looks to be an important part of Koeman’s first choice starting line-up.

Attacking midfield: Ever Banega

Everton face competition from China for Banega’s signature, but they are believed to be chasing the Argentine (Daily Mirror).

Attacking midfield: Kevin Mirallas

The Belgian has been in good form this season, and his ability has never been in doubt.

Striker: Romelu Lukaku

Everton are desperate to keep hold of Lukaku, who remains their most dangerous attacking weapon.
