Names are going to be thrown into the mix ahead of the January transfer window following Friday’s Everton takeover development.
Finally, it looks as if Farhad Moshiri is going to be able to hand over the keys to Everton are well over a year of sale negotiations.
The Friedkin Group have Premier League approval with the takeover on Merseyside now expected to be completed next week.
Despite suffering massively from PSR regulations over recent years, this new chapter in the club’s history is going to offer fans with a lot of hope.
Sean Dyche will have to remain focused on the task at hand, though, with Everton far from impressing in the Premier League.
With a change of ownership now seemingly just days away, the Everton boss has shared details of his behind-the-scenes meeting at Goodison.

Sean Dyche has held Everton January transfer meeting
The Friedkin Group’s approval has been the talk of the league on Friday with Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta reacting to Everton’s takeover news during his press conference.
Dyche has a big challenge ahead of him over the coming weeks with Everton facing some seriously tough opponents.

But he did admit on Thursday, during his own press conference, that he has held a meeting with Kevin Thelwell about potential January signings.
“Yeah, but as I said recently, the current situation wouldn’t allow much to be done anyway. Because that’s the nature of what the situation of the club is financially,” said Dyche.
“That may change, we will just have to wait and see.”
“You’ve got to wait and see what the new owners want to do should they come and take the club, which is looking very possible that it’s going to happen.”
Sitting so close to the relegation zone, the January transfer window is looking like a big opportunity for Everton to get ahold of their Premier League status.
The irony is the Friedkins are expected to sack Dyche and Thelwell in the New Year once they get their feet under the table.
Everton need January signings to seal Premier League safety
Although their last result against Wolves was incredibly encouraging, that is not the way the season has unfolded for Everton so far.
The Toffees have struggled massively going forward with only one other side having actually scored less than them.
Team Goals scored
Southampton 11
Ipswich Town 14
Everton 14
Crystal Palace 14
Dominic Calvert-Lewin’s future remains uncertain at Everton as his contract situation is yet to be resolved.
It will now just be a question of how much the new owners are willing to spend with only a few weeks separating them from the opening of the window.
