Everton boss Rafa Benitez says they know what they want to do in January.
Seeing Andros Townsend and Demarai Gray – signed for a combined £1.7million in the summer – be two of Everton's better performers in a disappointing season so far has added more weight to his argument.
But the club is still hamstrung by Financial Fair Play constraints and so he will have to get creative again.
“We know more or less what we want, the point is getting what you want," Benitez said ahead of Sunday's trip to Crystal Palace.
“The transfer window is always difficult, but January is even more. We're trying to concentrate on the games that we have now ahead, while at the same time keeping an eye on the transfer window."
