What's left to be done as Tim Iroegbunam closes in on Everton exit
Tim Iroegbunam is closing in on an exit from Everton.
The midfielder has been nothing but a rotation option since signing from Aston Villa under David Moyes.
Lewis Dobbin went the other way in a double transfer that was nothing but help towards PSR for both in the Premier League.
And now, he's on the move again.
It's Hull City who have bid £15million for Iroegbunam, and that appears to be enough to get a deal over the line soon.
But, it's not finished yet with more negotiations needed at the Hill Dickinson Stadium.
What's left for Iroegbunam transfer?
There aren't many Everton fans who would want the midfielder to be sticking around on Merseyside.
Hayden Hackey and Christian Norgaard have been signed, with Merlin Rohl, Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall and James Garner available too.
So, there isn''t room for Iroegbunam.
BBC Humberside's James Hoggarth has now reported that there is zero confirmation that a £15m has been accepted yet.
It's said that the transfer is down to its finer details, but all parties are very close to getting it over the line.
Do Everton need to replace Iroegbunam?
At this point, not really.
Harrison Armstrong can step forward and really start to thrive as a senior member of this squad, too.
Everton have much bigger priorities to solve, with another right-back at the very top of that for Angus Kinnear and Co.
Jack Grealish is also set to re-sign, so those two deals should take centre stage for Moyes and his squad.
Iroegbunam going for £15m is simply a huge cash boost, and that money can be used elsewhere ahead of the September 1 deadline.
With Crystal Palace coming to town to start the Premier League season in eight days time, there's a race against time to get deals done.
Iroegbunam leaving will be one of those, but in terms of incomings, there isn't anything that feels close.
Daniel Munoz has been strongly linked to solve the right-back issue, but Moyes has to make a decision on that.
For now, it's Iroegbunam moving on next.
