Everton are on the hunt for a new midfielder this summer, with multiple departures set to take place.
The Toffees have already lost Abdoulaye Doucoure, who is set to leave Goodison Park when his contract expires this summer.
Following him out the door could be Idrissa Gueye, who has been linked with Paris FC.
Therefore, a midfielder is wanted by David Moyes as he seeks to take Everton back into the top-half of the Premier League.

Newcastle set to keep Sean Longstaff after Fulham revelation
One of Everton’s targets this summer is Sean Longstaff.
MORE TOFFEES STORIES
The Newcastle United midfielder was a highly important player at the Magpies but has slowly fallen out of favour as Eddie Howe’s team establishes themselves in the top five.
However, despite speculation that he could join Everton this summer, the 27-year-old could now stay at St. James’ Park thanks to moves by Fulham.

Longstaff has been a great servant for Newcastle
According to the Mirror, page 57 (5 June), Marco Silva’s side are looking to sign Joe Willock from Newcastle.
While Howe is a big admirer of the forward, his goals have recently dried up after he has struggled for consistent fitness.
If Fulham were to bring Willock to the London club, Newcastle would keep hold of Longstaff despite Everton’s and Leeds United’s interest.

Sean Longstaff has fallen down the pecking order at Newcastle
Everton should push for Longstaff signing despite Willock move
Despite what the report says, Everton should push for Longstaff even if Willock moves to Fulham.
The 27-year-old has been fundamental to Newcastle’s rise and is about to hit his peak.
Under Moyes, the Englishman could become the Toffees’ big asset and potentially help the Merseyside club return to Europe.
Big names need to come into Everton if they are finally to bridge the gap between the relegation-threatened clubs and the top half.
Hopefully, Moyes will be able to achieve this aim in the transfer window and bring in multiple new faces.
