Leyton Orient are understood to be on the verge of bringing Everton midfielder John Lundstram back to the club on loan. 

The 20-year-old, who is expected to sign initially for one month, made a big impression with the O's last season after playing nine games for the side including coming off the bench in the play-off final defeat to Rotherham. 

Lundstram has been on loan at Blackpool this season, making 17 appearances, but was recalled by Everton at the start of this month. 

Orient signed Josh Wright this week but the League One club are known to be keen on bringing in another couple of players.
