Everton boss Dave Moyes will be working the loan market in January.
He told evertonfc.com: "I am really happy with the players we have got. The way they have played and the way they have performed this season - they are getting better.
"We are a little but short in one area and if the right player was available then I am sure we would look to do so but it may be more liable to be a loan player rather than a buy."
