Everton boss Sean Dyche admits they're unlikely to buy in January.
Dyche concedes 777 Partners' takeover will mean limited funds for next month's market.
He said, "Due to the ongoing due diligence our situation is the one we all know. I believe, however, that the team has been well balanced since last summer and that overall things are working in general.
"Obviously, however, there is still a lot to do even though the team is giving what it can.
"I also believe that our fans have understood what the situation is and what could happen in the next transfer window. I think it is right to say and that it is clear to remember how there is a need to balance our accounts, cutting the available fabric according to needs."
