St Johnstone have turned down the opportunity to sign young Everton midfielder, Tyler Onyango, on loan.

Saints, who are set to complete a deal to bring Welsh international Matt Smith to McDiarmid Park on a two-year contract, are exploring other options to supplement their midfield.

With Everton keen to see the England under-18 international get regular game-time, Dundee are now a possible destination for Onyango, who has a handful of Goodison Park first team appearances to his name.
