Everton have held talks with Manchester United to secure one of their youngsters on loan.

The Toffees are eager to wheel and deal in the transfer window for manager Sean Dyche.

One of their moves has been to talk with United over a loan deal for Hannibal Mejbri.

Speaking to GiveMeSport, transfer specialist Fabrizio Romano said on a potential deal: “Everton are in the race for Hannibal, now it's on the player.

“He has to decide whether he wants to go to Sevilla, to respect his word and go to the Spanish side. Or if he wants to go to Everton, to stay in the Premier League, to go to a different kind of system, different kind of coach also.

“So Hannibal will take his time to decide and it's also going to be important to see what kind of proposal they will make to Manchester United.

"United want the whole salary covered, but it is also important to see what happens with the buy options. Sevilla wanted a buy option included in the deal, United wanted a buy-back clause.

“So there is a deal to structure and it is not something super imminent, and this is why Hannibal will take his time to decide between Everton and Sevilla."
