Transfer news and rumours LIVE: Juve to wait on Rabiot

Wantaway Tottenham defender Toby Alderweireld could be set for Bayern Munich, according to <a href="https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/toby-alderweireld-could-join-bayern-13087799" target="_blank">The Mirror</a>.

As such, the Toffees were fearful they might miss out on the defender, but they got their man in the end. <a href="http://www.goal.com/en/news/everton-feared-missing-out-on-mina-after-world-cup-strike/7dvxsyt0b8r1190zo32nylwcu" target="_blank">Get the full story here!</a>
