Everton midfielder James McCarthy remains on the market.

The Daily Mail says Newcastle and Crystal Palace are weighing up late offers for McCarthy.

The Republic of Ireland midfielder has been at Goodison Park since 2013, but has fallen out of favour this season and lost his place in the side.

He has played eight times in the Premier League so far, but the arrival of Morgan Schneiderlin in the January window leaves him with limited opportunities.

McCarthy is being looked at by both Newcastle and Palace who, despite differing leagues, would both offer interesting challenges.
