Just days after the summer window shut, Everton are not ruling out a potential January swoop to bolster their options.
David Moyes saw considerable player turnover during the summer market, with numerous players coming and going at Finch Farm.
Everton have benefitted from their summer business, given they have taken seven points from their opening four Premier League games.
Having signed players like Jack Grealish and Tyler Dibling, Moyes has been delighted with Everton’s transfer business.
The Friedkin Group have certainly backed their 62-year-old manager in their first summer transfer window on Merseyside.
However, there may already be a focus being placed on what could be done in the January market.
