Everton can make history this summer with some big signings on deadline day.
The Friedkin Group have stuck to their promise of being ambitious at Everton, as with the deadline approaching, more additions could be made.
Everton could secure three more signings as the Toffees are hoping to go all out after a positive start to the Premier League season.
The funds that have been spent show that the new era presents promise, as Tyler Dibling’s £35 million move, rising to £40 million, shows the level the owners want to get to.
But along with Dibling, seven other arrivals have come in, and history could be made on the blue side of Merseyside.

Everton need to spend £24.2m more to equal record-breaking window
This summer has been a significant one in terms of the club starting a new chapter at the Hill Dickinson Stadium.
But after Everton have spent £111.9 million on deals already this window, a few signings could break the record of spending.
Currently, the target stands at £136.1 million, which was achieved in the 2017/2018 window, with many names that fans will remember, as 15 players were signed permanently.
Gylfi Sigurdsson £40 million
Jordan Pickford £25 million
Michael Keane £25 million
Davy Klaassen £23.6 million
Nikola Vlasic £8 million
This ultimately means that £24.2 million more needs to be spent before the deadline at 7pm.
Judging by what could happen today, it’s certainly doable in the next few hours.
Everton can achieve record transfer window with £17m deal and another permanent
This window under Moyes has had its ups and downs, but the areas that were set out before the start of the window look to be achieved.
During July, Moyes found the window difficult, but August has brought more success with the additions of Jack Grealish and the aforementioned signing of Dibling.
Carlos Alcaraz £12.6 million
Thierno Barry £27.5 million
Mark Travers £4 million
Adam Aznou £7.8 million
Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall £25 million
Jack Grealish Loan
Tom King Nominal fee
Tyler Dibling £35 million
With just over £24 million needing to be spent, Merlin Rohl could arrive for £17 million, as the German midfielder looks to tick one box.
There is also a chance Everton will sign a centre-back and right-back, which could take the Toffees over the record.
These could be loan deals, but if one were to be a permanent, Moyes would surely achieve history once more.
