David Moyes is set to have a busy summer transfer window at Everton, with a complete squad rebuild likely.
Everton have already said goodbye to multiple stars this month, with Abdoulaye Doucouré being one such player who announced he was leaving the Toffees.
Therefore, signings are needed and fast at Goodison Park as the Merseyside club look to finally return to the Premier League top-half.
Numerous players have already been linked to the Toffees, including Liam Delap, whom Moyes said he has opened talks with.
Now, Everton have expanded their search abroad in an attempt to reshape their squad.

Diarra would be an excellent buy for Everton
For £20 million, Everton will struggle to find a better midfielder for a cheaper price.
Diarra was a key player for Strasbourg’s push for European football as the French club eventually ended seventh in the division and qualified for the Europa Conference League.
This is exactly the type of experience the Toffees should be looking for, with Moyes also wanting to return the Merseyside club back into European contention.
On top of this, at just 21 years old, Diarra has a huge amount of potential and could easily go on to become a star in the Premier League.
Hopefully, Moyes gets the deal done fast before another club swoops in.
