Everton are searching for some big additions this summer ahead of their move into the Hill Dickinson Stadium.
It has been a fairly slow start to the window for Everton who had to watch their finances in June before the new PSR window opened.
But now it is time for Angus Kinnear and his recruitment staff to really push on and sign some players for David Moyes.
It is believed Everton are close to signing Thierno Barry which would mark a big addition to the Toffees’ attack.
Having lost Dominic Calvert-Lewin and Armando Broja, further squad depth is likely going to be needed, though.
Everton have shown an interest in Richarlison, and a potential return to Merseyside for the Brazilian has just taken a fresh twist.

Richarlison decides on Tottenham future with Everton interested
The Friedkins want a statement signing at Everton this summer, with a historic move into the Hill Dickinson Stadium set for the coming weeks.
However, a move for Richarlison may now be looking more unlikely as the days progress.

According to Sky Sports, Richarlison’s preference is to remain in north London and fight for his spot under Thomas Frank.
The new Spurs manager will be expected to take a look at his inherited squad over the coming weeks as pre-season gets underway.
After numerous injury issues, the Brazilian feels he has not had the opportunity to really showcase his talent in N17.
Richarlison has received interest from Fenerbahce, with suggestions Spurs would be open to selling him to Turkey.
It looks as if any decision on Richarlison’s future will not be coming any time soon.
Everton should look away from Richarlison
Some Everton fans may welcome a return for Richarlison, but Moyes will surely want his major signings wrapped up early on this summer.
Pre-season has already started at Finch Farm and Moyes has a limited squad to work with following Everton’s free agent departures.
Troy Deeney has warned Everton against signing Richarlison after he has seen a decline in the forward’s performances.
But there are other aspects to a potential deal which may put the Friedkins off signing the Brazilian.
Everton are prioritising attacking signings, but perhaps this could be an opportunistic deal that may arise later in the summer.
