Everton boss David Moyes admits his current players are desperate to see new signings made.
Moyes knows new faces would give his squad a lift.
Moyes said: "I would like to bring a couple in to help the group itself, to give the group a lift. They need the competition and to see new faces as well.
"But if we don't bring people in then it gives others a chance to get regular football and that is the way we have done it here in recent years. We've never brought in lots and if I'd signed a right-winger, for example, maybe Seamus Coleman would not have got his opportunity."
