Everton have an incredibly busy month or so ahead of them.
The Friedkin Group’s Everton takeover, which is set to be finalised in the coming weeks, could see change in the dugout and at boardroom level.
Sean Dyche could be replaced by David Moyes whilst Kevin Thelwell, who is out of contract next year, may be moved on.
Dan Ashworth is available after his Manchester United exit, so he’d be the perfect Thellwell successor if he were to leave.
Everton could look like a very different football club come January and even on the pitch, change is expected.
The Toffees are interested in Fenerbahce winger Oguz Aydin, who is enjoying a productive season under Jose Mourinho’s stewardship.
Dominic Calvert-Lewin is being linked to Arsenal and now there could be another potential exit this winter as one player has asked to leave.

Beto asks to leave Everton
Beto has been linked with a return to Italy over the last few weeks as he continued to be benched by Sean Dyche.

The former Udinese forward has started just one game in the Premier League this season and has mostly been reduced to cameo appearances off the bench.
Beto has now become frustrated at his situation at Goodison Park and has asked to leave the club this winter, according to La Stampa, via TuttoMercatoWeb.
It’s understood Everton have accepted his request and will allow him to depart just 18 months after his big-money switch.
Torino want to agree a loan deal with an option to buy for around £16m.

Everton should reinvest funds in a wide player
Everton may not need an immediate replacement for Beto with Armando Broja and Youssef Chermiti both returning from injury.
So instead, they should allocate those funds towards a wide player as their options are a little scarce in that area.
Everton could reignite interest in Ernest Nuamah this January, who they tried to sign from Lyon in the summer.
