Everton were offered the chance to sign Chelsea winger Omari Hutchinson on loan, but he turned down the chance.
Everton finished the transfer window weaker than it started after they sold Anthony Gordon and were unable to bring in a replacement.
Signing a winger had to be a priority for Everton, even before Gordon left the club, with their current generation of wingers struggling to contribute in front of goal or create for others.

It now emerged that Everton were offered the chance to bring in an exciting young talent on deadline day but turned down the chance. According to The Mirror, Chelsea offered former Arsenal player Hutchinson to Everton on loan, but the Merseyside club turned down the opportunity.
Hutchinson has only a handful of games in the Premier League so it’s understandable that Everton didn’t feel he was the right man to help them in the relegation battle.
However, just bringing bodies through the gate would have been beneficial for Everton considering their lack of numbers, and perhaps a young talent with a point to prove could have been shrewd business.
