Everton's bid to sign Standard Liege striker Ishak Belfodil looks to have hit the rocks.
The Algerian was due to sign for Everton last week in a £10.4million deal after his representative Mohamed Al Faiech held talks with director of football Steve Walsh.
However, the player's management want to call off the deal after another agent Christophe Henrotay became involved.
Meanwhile, young Everton striker David Henen looks set to join Lille.
Sunderland have asked to take Manchester United target Matthew Knox on trial.
