Everton are one of the clubs who are showing an interest in Manchester City right-back Kyle Walker.
David Moyes is set for a large chunk of his squad to part ways on Merseyside at the end of their contracts, meaning a lot of signings are needed.
It is set to be an unprecedented summer window at Everton with huge changes being made behind the scenes.
Plenty of positions need to be addressed this summer at Everton as the club look to take a major step forward under the ownership of The Friedkin Group.
Everton will be financially backed by the Friedkins this summer but the club are also going to have to make some shrewd moves given the number of additions needed.
Speaking to Everton News, TBR Football’s Chief Correspondent Graeme Bailey has shared his latest understanding on a potential swoop for Walker in the coming weeks.

Everton are eyeing Kyle Walker transfer swoop
Ashley Young is leaving Everton this summer and that will mark a significant loss to the experience within the squad.
Since the moment he arrived in January, Moyes wanted to add a new full-back to his squad with a clear lack of squad depth.

Walker is on the transfer pile at City with just one year remaining on his current deal, and Bailey believes he would be open to joining the Toffees.
“Everton are looking at their options at right-back and Kyle Walker has been put to them and there have been talks,” he said.
“I am told that Walker is open to the prospect of playing for David Moyes.”
It is not just Everton who are showing an interest in Walker, though. The following clubs are also believed to be keen:
Fenerbahce
Galatasaray
Wolves
Everton are hoping their new stadium attracts players this summer, but it seems their 62-year-old manager could also do that too.
With the likes of Young and Abdoulaye Doucoure heading for the exit, Walker is viewed as someone who could add some real experience to the squad this summer.
Everton could land double deal with Jack Grealish
It is not just Walker who the Blues are eyeing from Manchester City this summer as Everton also hold interest in Jack Grealish.
The City duo have both been left out of Pep Guardiola’s Club World Cup squad with their futures seemingly elsewhere.
“David Moyes likes experience and Walker and Grealish would bring top-class experience, something that is hard to come by,” Bailey added.
“Could we see Walker and Grealish at Bramley Dock – it is certainly a possibility.”
Everton News understands Grealish would approve a move to Everton as he is happy to remain in the north west of England.
