Everton's attempt to sign Nigerian international Folarin Balogun has fallen through after the striker decided against moving to the Premier League club. The Toffees had reached an agreement to bring Balogun to Merseyside but faced complications during his medical examination, which led them to seek renegotiation of the deal. However, Balogun ultimately changed his mind and opted not to join Everton, leaving manager David Moyes with only one senior striker after the sale of Beto to Fiorentina on transfer deadline day. In response to the failed deal, Everton has secured Jack Grealish on loan from Manchester City. The move came after the club sold Iliman Ndiaye to Nottingham Forest for £60 million. Grealish, a key player for the Citizens, is expected to provide much-needed depth in attack. Meanwhile, Everton had also pursued a late transfer for Manchester United's Joshua Zirkzee, offering a season-long loan, but their proposal was rejected. The club has also concluded its search for a new right-back by signing Ainsley Maitland-Niles from Lyon for around £4.2 million. The 26-year-old, who previously played for Arsenal, has signed a three-year contract with Everton, bringing experience and versatility to the squad. Maitland-Niles joins a team that is still looking to solidify its attacking options, with Thierno Barry as the only available striker at the moment.
