Everton are exploring a number of deals both domestically and on the continent.
David Moyes is leading a rebuild this summer transfer window, with several Everton first-teamers out of contract and departing on free transfers.
Everton are hopeful of signing Manchester City’s John Stones, who will want to play regular football ahead of the World Cup next summer.

Everton interested in signing Yves Bissouma which may worry James Garner
Everton are in the market for a central midfielder this summer, with it being a priority position for Moyes.
That said, it’s surfaced over the last 48 hours that Tottenham Hotspur’s Yves Bissouma could join the Toffees.

Bissouma is out of contract next year, so this would be the final chance for Spurs to cash in for a decent fee.
Indeed, if the 28-year-old did complete a move to Merseyside, it’d put Garner’s future into major doubt, with Idrissa Gana Gueye filling the other midfield position.
The former Manchester United man may even consider his future, with it becoming evident Moyes wants to upgrade on him.
Or, perhaps Garner will be content with playing a squad role, which looks likely as it stands.
Everton also exploring Angel Gomes deal
Everton are also looking at two other midfield targets.
Moyes was lining up a contract offer to Lille star Angel Gomes last month after it emerged that he would be leaving the French club.
The soon-to-be free agent was on the Scotsman’s radar during the winter transfer window, too, so clearly he’s a big admirer.
Rangers’ Mohamed Diomande is also being linked to Goodison Park, but the Scottish giants won’t sanction his sale unless a big offer arrives.
The Gers are desperate to retain Diomande’s signature.
