Rangers fans were surely left with a bitter taste in their mouth after signing Youssef Chermiti from Everton.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s safe to say that the Ibrox faithful won\u2019t have the best of opinions about the Toffees after spending \u00a38million on the Portugal Under-21 international.<\/p>\n

David Moyes is expected to sign a couple of players on loan at the Hill Dickinson Stadium<\/a>, with squad depth a concern for the Blues right now.<\/p>\n

Harrison Armstrong has returned from his loan spell at Preston North End<\/a>, but the Scottish manager could possibly have more options at his disposal with a simple approach.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Everton target Dan Neil can leave Sunderland on loan in January<\/p>\n

Sunderland are open to letting Dan Neil<\/a> leave on loan in the winter transfer window, according to Keith Downie.<\/p>\n

The Sky Sports journalist revealed on 9 January that Romaine Mundle could also be on his way out of the Stadium of Light, along with the English midfielder.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s been claimed that Rangers have made an approach to sign the Premier League duo on loan, but the Toffees may have an opportunity to hijack a possible deal at the Hill Dickinson Stadium<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Moyes wanted Neil in the summer<\/a>, with the 24-year-old shining for the Black Cats as they won promotion from the Championship.<\/p>\n

With Sunderland now willing to let the midfielder leave, the Merseyside outfit have been handed the perfect chance to bolster their engine room.<\/p>\n

David Moyes has already hinted at midfielder exit at Hill Dickinson Stadium<\/p>\n

Moyes want Armstrong to return to Preston North End if possible<\/a>, and signing a midfielder could potentially open the door for his exit in January.<\/p>\n

It would be wise for Everton to let the 18-year-old rejoin the Championship outfit, where he\u2019s guaranteed regular game time to further his development.<\/p>\n

Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall will soon return from his injury, and Idrissa Gueye will return from the Africa Cup of Nations to restore the Blues\u2019 midfield depth.<\/p>\n

Signing Neil would certainly allow the Merseyside outfit to add quality to their squad and let Armstrong continue to gain valuable experience in PNE.<\/p>\n
