Everton fans will be desperate to get up and running in the summer transfer window.
An emotional weekend lies ahead for all at Everton as they wave goodbye to Goodison Park ahead of what’s going to be a huge summer.
David Moyes will be excited to see what the club are able to do with the Friedkins set to experience their first summer market.
Angus Kinnear is expecting a busy summer after landing on Merseyside earlier in the week.
Numerous players are on course to depart the club over the coming weeks, which only adds to the work needed in the summer.
With quality needed in that department, Everton are prioritising the signing of a striker and one of their targets is expected to share his next club next week.

Everton target Liam Delap set to announce his next club
Although Beto has shown improved form under Moyes since January, Everton have an interest in Liam Delap who’s been hailed ‘extraordinary’ this season.
The young striker has half of the Premier League chasing his signature with his £30m release clause proving incredibly attractive.

According to Team Talk, a decision on Delap’s future is now expected next week with clubs sitting eagerly to discover who will prevail.
Unfortunately for Everton, it is believed Manchester United are set to win the war for the 22-year-old.
It has been suggested Delap wants to play European football next season, which United could secure with a victory in Bilbao next week.
It will be interesting to see what happens if Tottenham Hotspur come out on top.
Everton could be a good option for Delap who could play regular minutes in a developing project on Merseyside.
But it looks like a long stretch to see the striker play in blue next season.
Delap wants to return to the north west
Having spent time down at Ipswich Town, the report does suggest Delap is ready to make his return to the north.
Delap came through Manchester City’s academy and made the move from the Premier League giants to the Tractor Boys.
What will be interesting to see is what this could mean if a move to Old Trafford no longer appeals to Delap after next week’s Europa League final.
Just the other week, Delap really impressed Everton fans with his hearty performance at Goodison.
Everton will have other striker options, but Delap would certainly feel like a huge coup if they could pull it off.
