Everton have now wrapped up their summer business in the transfer window.
David Moyes has been handed nine new faces over recent months, which came after a lot of departures in June from Merseyside.
Angus Kinnear was handed an unprecedented task at Everton in the window having joined from Leeds United.
The work over the summer is clearly paying off, with Everton sitting in fifth spot of the table and with two wins out of three.
Moyes was delighted with Everton’s summer business, given there was some real star quality added with the likes of Jack Grealish.
The transfer window may be shut, but there is now set to be another departure from Finch Farm through the form of a key member of staff.

It is believed Fotherby will be joining Manchester United as the Red Devils continue their shake-up behind the scenes.
Fotherby has been at Finch Farm for over three years, but he was made the lead first-team doctor back in August last year.
There has also been major changes made at Everton since the arrival of the Friedkins, and it looks like another new addition will be needed.
Everton transformed their recruitment set-up, which saw the Friedkins move on from Kevin Thelwell.
Now, there will be another major change to a member of staff directly involved with the players.
