Everton are already preparing for the summer transfer window ahead of their move to the Bramley Moore Dock stadium.
It is likely to be a preseason full of change on Merseyside as the Friedkin Group look to make their stamp on the L4 club.
This could see multiple new signings come in alongside new senior members of staff to supplement David Moyes at the helm.
It will be interesting to see what changes are made before the new season kicks off, but transfers already appear to be planned out.

Rafa Benitez lined up for shock new job
It is safe to say that Benitez is far from well-liked at Goodison Park after joining in 2021 before being sacked after just seven months.
Most recently the Spaniard was sacked by Celta Vigo and has since gone an entire year without a job.
His unemployed stint could now be set to come to an end after being linked with a move to Scottish Championship side Rangers.
This link has been met with varied reviews in Glasgow with Scottish football journalist Daniel Caw remaining unsure on the idea of him taking over from Barry Ferguson.
Speaking on the Record Sport’s Hotline Live (5 March), he said: “Rafa Benitez’ last few jobs haven’t been great. Look what happened at Everton when he was there, that was a disaster. Real Madrid was a disaster.
“He left Celta Vigo almost a year to the day, his last job, just outside the relegation zone. Even if Rangers could get Rafa Benitez, I’m not sure that it would be the wisest of moves.”

Angus Kinnear ‘determined for Leeds United stay’
Kinnear is currently operating as the CEO at Elland Road but has been named as a front-runner to take over the same role with the Toffees.
With that being said, it has been reported that if the Friedkins want to poach him from Leeds they will have to pay compensation to cover his contract which is set to run until 2026.
It has been reported by reliable Everton outlet Bobble [5 March] that the 47-year-old is determined to finish the campaign with the Whites during their push for promotion.
Even with this being the case, talks between the CEO and the Evertonians are now advancing, and if the TFG can hold out until the end of the season, a deal could soon be struck.
Everton interested in Richarlison return
Richarlison could be set to return to the Merseyside in the upcoming summer transfer window, according to TBR Football (5 March).
The Toffees are said to be interested in signing the 27-year-old again if he is willing to move away from Tottenham, three years after signing.

Richarlison goal stats
Moyes and Co. are working on potential forward transfer options ahead of the end of the season as they look to sign a new striker in the coming months.
There is no doubt that the L4 club would welcome a move as they still hold the Brazilian in high regard as a move away from North London looks likely.
Theo Hernandez subject to £33m interest from Everton
AC Milan left-back Hernandez is attracting interest from the Blues with the summer window in mind, according to CaughtOffside (4 March).
The France international’s contract expires in June 2026, and the Serie A giants have decided to cash in on the defender.
Talks over a new deal have stalled at San Siro, which could see the 27-year-old depart for a fee in the region of £33m, which is his approximate value.
With this potential deal on the table, the Toffees are eyeing up an opportunity to push for his signing as a potential replacement for Vitalii Mykolenko.
