Everton may finally be looking forward after a strong run of results under David Moyes, but the Scot will know he has plenty of work to do between now and the summer transfer window.
Dominic Calvert-Lewin's uncertain Everton future
Due to injury, Everton striker Dominic Calvert-Lewin has vanished into the background since the early moments of David Moyes' return to Goodison Park. The future couldn't be more uncertain for the England international with three months left to run on his contract.
Finding himself among the Toffees' top earners on £100,000 per week, the Sheffield-born man has contributed three goals in 22 appearances this campaign. While he offers a reference point in attack, there is an argument to say that now may be the time for all parties to go their seperate ways.
Beto replaces Dominic Calvert-Lewin
Over the last year, Calvert-Lewin has snubbed several offers to extend his Everton contract. His fitness problems have allowed Beto to take the mantle as the main centre-forward, registering five goals in his last five Premier League outings.
Armando Broja and Youssef Chermiti have barely featured under Moyes or Dyche, spending prolonged spells on the sidelines that have left the Blues short of offensive firepower. Reading between the lines, they simply have to address the striker position during the summer window.

Calvert-Lewin may be the one to make way given his high wages. However, his presence in attack will be difficult to replace, given the fact he is only 11 strikes behind Romelu Lukaku's return of 68 goals during the Premier League era.
Looking to the future, Everton are now readying an enquiry about the availability of a top-flight star who is revered among supporters at Goodison Park.
Everton ready enquiry for Tottenham star Richarlison
According to GIVEMESPORT, Everton are set to enquire about the possibility of a sensational reunion with Richarlison this summer, with Tottenham Hotspur said to be looking for a fee of £40 million to sanction the Brazil international's departure.
Despite arriving in North London for £60 million in 2022, Spurs are prepared to take a hit to get him off the books as he enters the final two years of his deal, leading to The Friedkin Group preparing an approach.

Everton are resurgent under Moyes' wing, with a new superstar on the rise.
Moyes is unlikely to wait around and wants to ascertain whether it would be possible to come to an agreement early in the summer transfer window. If not, the Scot will swiftly move on to alternative targets.
Richarlison has become a peripheral figure at Tottenham this campaign, notching three goals in 14 matches. Consistent niggles have prevented the 27-year-old from having a greater impact under Ange Postecoglou, though his scoring frequency in the Premier League this term stands at every 143 minutes.
While the former Watford star's love for Everton is universally known, it remains to be seen whether Moyes will be given the financial backing to complete a statement deal once his side bed into their new home at Bramley Moore Dock.
