Everton management have already seen enough and are eager to sign permanently Conor Coady.
The Times says the Toffees have been impressed with the Scouser's impact and are considering activating the permanent option in the 29-year-old's loan deal from Wolves.
The amount Everton will have to pay for Coady is less than £10m.
The defender moved to Everton from Wolves on a season-long loan this past summer.
So far this season, Coady has played seven matches for Everton, scoring once and also making an assist.
