David Moyes is facing one of the biggest summers of his management career at Everton.
On top of the transfer window, Moyes will be at the heart of the Toffees’ transition to Bramley-Moore Dock.
Rumours about potential signings and departures are also in full swing as the Everton manager looks to shape his squad.
Neal Maupay looks to be the first star to depart as he seals his move to Marseille.
However, Moyes is determined to keep hold of Seamus Colemen this summer amid rumours that the full-back will leave the Merseyside club this summer.

David Moyes determined to keep Coleman at Everton next season
Coleman’s future at Everton has been speculated for months.
The Irishman is one of 14 stars in the Toffees squad who are currently out of contract in the summer.
Coleman, who turns 37 years old this year, is the only player who remains from Moyes’ first spell at the Merseyside club after he was signed back in 2009.
There have been fears that the Everton legend could now be set to leave as his role in the first team has diminished.

Coleman has had a fantastic playing career at Everton
However, in his press conference before the Southampton clash, Moyes has quickly put down rumours that Coleman will be leaving this summer, stating that “one way or another” the full-back will stay.
According to the Liverpool Echo (16 May), he said: “I need him here, his leadership, his message he has among the players and in the dressing room is so strong, it will be wrong of me to let him go. One way or another, Seamus will be here certainly next season.”

Everton should offer Coleman a coaching role
After Sean Dyche was sacked by Everton, Coleman did well in his time in charge of the Toffees as the interim manager.
The Irishman won his only game in charge as they beat Peterborough to advance in the FA Cup.
After these promising signs, Everton should look to offer Coleman a coaching role next season, or at least a hybrid role if he wants to continue his playing career.
With his potential, the full-back could become a top coach at the Toffees, and his experience would no doubt help the younger players.
