Kenny Tete is the latest name to be linked with Everton as David Moyes looks to add a right-back to his squad during the summer transfer window.
The right-back made 22 Premier League appearances for Fulham last season and is now one of the names on Moyes’ radar, amid ongoing Everton links with Kyle Walker.
While it’s yet to be seen which direction the Toffees will choose to go in, the list of targets certainly sends a clear message about the plans of The Friedkin Group this summer.

Everton line up transfer targets
Everton have offered a new contract to club captain Seamus Coleman, but the boss is eager to get another right-back option in for next season.
Jake O’Brien is the current option for the Scotsman, but with Ashley Young having left the club, seemingly the Blues are keen to add to the competition within their ranks.
MORE TOFFEES STORIES
Kyle Walker has been heavily linked with a move to Merseyside in the past 24 hours, and although no formal contact has been made with Manchester City, Moyes is said to be an admirer.
However, with concerns over financing this move, it seems as though the Blues are ready to look elsewhere, too.
According to The Times (17 June), Everton are now looking at Tete as another option.
With the Dutchman’s contract expiring at Craven Cottage at the end of June, he is set to leave West London, making him available as a free agent.
The report states that Kyle Walker-Peters and Vladimir Coufal are also under consideration to solve Everton’s issues.

TFG plan for Everton is clear
After completing their takeover of Everton, TFG do have money that they can spend this summer to help Moyes refresh the side.

Moyes has several options to consider for Everton.
However, given how PSR has stung the Blues in the past, the new investors will be keen for growth to be sustainable too, which means being smart in their business.
Although Moyes is looking to lower the average age of his Everton squad, it seems that experience is what is required at right-back and that can be provided in the form of a free transfer.
With several experienced options available without a fee this summer, it makes sense why TFG would be eager to save money on transfer fees here, keeping funds available for big wages and other potential signings that need financing.
