Everton have now played their final match at Goodison Park and now have an exciting pursuit underway in their efforts to bring in a new era at the Hill Dickinson Stadium, according to a report.
Everton look forward to new beginnings under David Moyes
Decisions are beginning to be made thick and fast by David Moyes as his reign at Everton takes a sharp turn towards focusing on their new era next season.
Despite reports to the contrary, Ashley Young will leave Everton as a free agent and is the first major domino to fall alongside Asmir Begovic and Joao Virginia's recently announced departures.
Losing an experienced figure in the camp is undoubtedly something that will be addressed in the summer window, but it may be seen as a necessary evil to streamline a younger squad capable of long-term progression.
There are plenty of other matters to sort out in relation to player retention, though the Friedkin Group will relish the challenge of equipping Moyes with a side capable of navigating the Premier League next term.
Former Everton pair Richarlison and John Stones could join their new dawn at the Hill Dickinson Stadium on Bramley-Moore. Nevertheless, that is likely to depend on whether PSR regulations allow enough room for manoeuvre.

Football is a global game and Everton are in a brilliant position to target markets worldwide to strengthen. However, there is nothing wrong with familiar faces offering proven quality to take the club forward.
Not every signing will be eye-catching, but the Toffees have now received a shot in the arm regarding one of the Premier League's most underrated performers that has become a target.
£12m Sean Longstaff now open to Everton move
According to reports, Newcastle United midfielder Sean Longstaff is open to joining Everton and both clubs are keen to find agreement on a deal that would see him head to Merseyside.
Available for only £12 million, the 27-year-old is coming into the final year of his contract at St James' Park and appears likely to be sold on by Eddie Howe to ease PSR concerns.

Everton are readying themselves for a summer of change.
Labelled "outstanding" by the Magpies boss, Longstaff has made 32 appearances across all competitions for his boyhood club this term, even if only eight of them have been Premier League starts.
Seen as a no-brainer sale at Newcastle, Everton could land a competent operator in the middle of the park who has proven his worth over the years.
Manchester United and Leeds United are among his admirers and there has also been interest from Scotland in offering the North Shields-born man a new beginning.
Now, it remains to be seen if Everton can push a deal over the line. If current indications are anything to go by, he seems to be edging closer to a move.
