Everton are preparing for a transformative summer under manager David Moyes, who is set to oversee his first full transfer window since returning to Goodison Park. According to a report from Sky Sports, a right-back, right-winger, midfielder, and striker will be their priorities for the upcoming market.
Backed by new owners, The Friedkin Group, and a refreshed coaching staff, Moyes is poised to reshape the squad in order to steer the club back in the right direction. It's been a tricky few years for the Merseyside outfit, battling to avoid relegation, but they have shown positive signs under Moyes since his arrival in January.
With a host of players out of contract, it's set to be a busy summer for Everton. Abdoulaye Doucoure and Ashley Young's departures have been confirmed, while supporters are waiting for news on Dominic Calvert-Lewin, Michael Keane, Idrissa Gueye, and Seamus Coleman.
Everton to Prioritise Four Positions This Summer

According to a report from Sky Sports, Everton are set to focus their recruitment on four primary positions - right-back, right-wing, central midfield, and striker. Once the Toffees have finalised deals for players in these positions, they will likely look at bringing in a backup goalkeeper, left-back, centre-back, and left-winger.
As previously mentioned, it's set to be an incredibly busy summer for Everton. Armando Broja has returned to Chelsea while Calvert-Lewin is out of contract as it stands, hence the need for a striker. At right-back, Young has departed, while we await news on the ageing Coleman.
On the right-hand side of attack, Jesper Lindstrom and Jack Harrison have returned to Napoli and Leeds United, respectively, following their loan spells. In the middle of the park, Doucoure has departed the club, while they were already short of quality options.
It would be a huge shock if Everton went into the season without strengthening in these positions, and Moyes would be left incredibly short if they fail to bring in at least five or six first-team signings. It's imperative The Friedkin Group and Moyes get things right as they aim to climb up the Premier League table.
