 Welcome to the Everton News Daily. Mason Hullgate is on the South Coast finalising his season-long loan move to Southampton from Everton. Hullgate has not featured at all for Everton this pre-season, certainly not a fifth team level anyway and has been looking to get away throughout the summer, but obviously Sean Dited made it clear that he wasn't going to be part of his first team plans. Hullgate, who has played 149 times for Everton and scored five goals, has been at the football club since signing from Barnsley in 2015 and he is set to finalise that move to Southampton. Staying with Southampton and Everton, both clubs are confident that a deal for Che Adams will be reached over the weekend. The £15 million fee has been bandied about. The 26-year-old has been identified by Everton's recruitment team to help them with their striker issues. He has played 149 games for Southampton and scored 34 goals in all competitions, including three in three championship games this season. Everton put an initial bid in last weekend, some thought that the deal would get done in the early part of the weekend. Maybe Adams would be part of an Everton side taking on Wolves this weekend at the Gouldersen Park. That hasn't happened. Everton had also been speaking to Rudin Aisy about their striker, Beto. Apparently that's still ongoing but the Adams moved this afternoon. The Adams news this afternoon is that this is edge closer. Southampton manager Russell Martin has said that Che Adams will hopefully be available to play for Southampton over the weekend but it depends on where the deal is up to and also his headspace. Southampton have also offered Adams a new contract as well to remain at St Mary's so the ball is very much in his court. Everton again today linked with a move for Leeds United winger, not Wilfred Nontrow, Lewis Sinistera. Sinistera was linked to Everton last week. The deal is thought to be an easier one to complete because Sinistera has a or had a relegation clause in his contract. The 24-year-old played 24 times for Leeds United and has scored seven goals since signing from Feyenoord. And finally PSV and Oven are weighing up another move for Jarrod Branthwaite. We've spoke about this already this week. Branthwaite was at Ibrox to see PSV playing Rangers in the Champions League qualifier. Sean Diter's reluctance to play Branthwaite could see the young defender ask for a move. That is according to some reports today. Everton thought someone around £15 million for the young centre back. A lot of Everton is hoping that Branthwaite would be given his opportunity this season to cement his place alongside James Tarkovsky. That has not happened so far and Everton have shipped five goals in two games. It remains to be seen whether or not Sean Diter makes a change over the weekend and Branthwaite gets the opportunity to stake his claim in the first team. If not, we could see this move intensify over the next seven days as Branthwaite could well look to leave Guddersen Park. Let's hope that isn't the case. That is it for the news today.
