Everton's highly-rated young midfielder Jose Baxter is wanted by Championship club Scunthorpe on a three-month loan deal.
The 18-year-old is highly thought of by boss David Moyes, who is anxious for him to gain some much needed first team experience on loan at a Championship club, and the struggling Iron are keen to make a move.
Baxter was on target twice during the reserves 5-0 defeat of Blackpool on Wednesday in the game that marked the return of fit again Jack Rodwell and there was a double goal blast from Jermain Beckford.
