Town are reportedly amongst a number of Championship clubs to have enquired about Everton’s England U21 international left-back Luke Garbutt.

According to The Times, the Blues, Fulham, QPR and Rotherham are all keen on loaning the 22-year-old, who the Toffeemen are said to want to join a Championship club, despite interest from Premier League AFC Bournemouth and Swansea.

Garbutt, who recently signed a new five-year deal at Goodison Park, was with Leeds as a schoolboy but joined Everton’s youth set-up in 2009.

Capped by England at U16, U17, U18, U19, U20 and U21 levels, Garbutt has previously spent time out on loan at Cheltenham and Colchester. He has made eight starts and six sub appearances for his parent club.

Town are very much in the market for another left-back to compete with Jonny Parr, Tyrone Mings having moved on to the Cherries - who had previously been strongly tipped to sign Garbutt - for an initial £8 million last month.

BrettenhamBlue added 14:05 - Jul 15 QPR are likely to win this, they are willing to pay crazy wages.

Mr_Evans added 14:08 - Jul 15 Sign this fella on loan, move Parr to RB. I see a lot of people wanting us to sign more and more players, but if you look at the quality we have amongst our squad, albeit small, we look very strong next year. Personally I'd like another CB cover, and a Jonny Williams. GK: Bart, Gerkin DEF: Parr, Chambers, Berra, Smith, Clarke, New LB MID: Niles, Skuse, Bishop, Fraser, Tabb, Bru, Hyam, Ambrose, Connelly ATT: Mcg, Murphy, Pitman, Sears

Michael11 added 14:19 - Jul 15 This would be a great signing. Pretty similar player to Aaron Cresswell. Hope we can pull it off but think right back's still more important to sort.

BlueSwede added 14:20 - Jul 15 Yes please. Could Place Parr on the right and with the young upcoming defenders we have of our own would make a solid defensive line even stronger.

Lightningboy added 14:23 - Jul 15 Would rather us sign players permanently than on loan. Far too many loanees at clubs these days which takes the heart out of a team/club if you're not careful. Don't mind one or two but more than four or five and things start getting messy.

Vic added 14:26 - Jul 15 Mr Evans - is that your new formation for the season? We'll never be allowed to get away with four forwards at the same time. Rest of the team looks strong though.

BrettenhamBlue added 14:29 - Jul 15 News from PR in the next hour apparently. Signing imminent. My guess it is Volodymyr Kozlenko? Good call by me if it is....

carsey added 14:51 - Jul 15 Not sure about another loan and it's a Right Back we need not a Left Back.

RobTheMonk added 15:06 - Jul 15 Yes please. Season long loan and no recall.

Balders added 15:07 - Jul 15 If Everton are serious about "progressing" LG then MM must be the best choice. His track record speaks for itself, Cressy, Mings even Smith (ok maybe not smith)

BlueandTruesince82 added 15:18 - Jul 15 Love to see it, I think Bournemouth pulled out of a loan deal when the knew they were getting Mings

mkbobby added 15:35 - Jul 15 very good Pjewellisagod did he call you himself lol

GeorgeITFC24 added 15:36 - Jul 15 I think the two season loanees is enough. Maybe target Charlie Daniels from Bournemouth? Unlikely to play much now if Mings does well. Plus if you pay £8 million for a player you tend to play them!

itfc1981 added 15:55 - Jul 15 More chance of me winning the lottery than Mick dropping Smith and Parr playing RB.

Surco72 added 16:01 - Jul 15 Said this yesterday would be a great loan for a season better player than Mings in my opinion . Did Mings get injured last night only lasted 20 minutes or so for Bournemouth

runningout added 16:06 - Jul 15 Bournemouth signed decent new left back a few of days.. Not sure if Mings has done his ankle in...

BlueSwede added 16:17 - Jul 15 No problem with a good loanplayer for a seasonlong loan when there is no recallclause. And really, what is the difference between a seasonlong loan and McGoldrick playing out his final year and going for free next summer..? If you are opposed to seasonlongloans, then you should demand for the sale of McGoldrick. Granted, I don't want the shortterm loansplayers who can be "lost" on a 24 hour notice, but to have them here all season, that is something completely different.
