Everton are touting Ghanaian midfielder Alex Nyarko to Nationwide clubs. Nyarko is back on Merseyside after trials in China and played in Everton's 5-0 reserve-team win against Wolves during the week.

"I don't think the transfer window can prevent you loaning people to the Nationwide clubs, so that could be one option," explained boss Dave Moyes.

"But we have not had any enquiries."
