Everton could see some significant changes happen at Goodison Park over the coming months with the January transfer window opening soon.
Sean Dyche is not expected to be sacked at Everton despite the club’s recent struggles, which have seen them slumped narrowly above the bottom three.
However, that could soon be set to change with The Friedkin Group close to taking over at Everton with their proposed takeover possibly being completed by the end of the year.
The January transfer window will offer the Toffees an opportunity to bolster their squad following another underwhelming start to the season.
And it could also offer some of the current crop of players to explore potential new clubs with their contracts coming to an end.
