Nathan Patteron looks set to be another name heading for the Everton exit door on deadline day.

The rarely used Scottish right-back is set to undergo a medical at Serie A side Torino, reports The Bobble. According to the update, Torino are 'advancing in talks to sign Nathan Patterson on a permanent transfer'.

The 24-year-old has struggled for favour and fitness since signing from Rangers in an £11m deal in January 2022 and was overlooked last season despite Everton's lack of a recognised right-back.

Patterson played only 240 minutes of Premier League football in 2025/26 and is now set to leave Hill Dickinson in search of regular football.

There is no mention of a potential fee, though it will be a permanent transfer for the 29-cap Scotland international, whose contract is due to expire in 2027. Should the deal go through before tonight's deadline, Patterson is set to become the third Scotsman to represent the Italian side, after Denis Law and Che Adams.

Patterson's imminent exit comes as Everton also negotiate the departures of Iliman Ndiaye to Manchester City and Tim Iroegbunam to Hull for combined fees of £87m including add-ons. Everton have agreed deals to sign Folarin Balogun and Jack Grealish, while talks are ongoing for Fulham full-back Kenny Tete.
