On 27 Sep, OneFootball and ToffeeWeb reported Everton keeping tabs on Binks, calling it classic meaningless transfer noise while the window is closed. On 29 Sep, Yahoo Sports and SSBCrack reported on the link, with Yahoo Sports citing Moyes' spies on red alert and SSBCrack describing it as speculative agent maneuvering rather than a serious pursuit. On 7 Oct, TEAMtalk said Binks has been linked with Everton largely after his Scotland call-up.

TEAMtalk says there has been no confirmation from sources that the interest is concrete.
