Galatasaray left winger Baris Alper Yilmaz could potentially soon make his way to the Premier League as Everton prepare a transfer offer.
David Moyes has lost Jack Harrison as one of his options ahead of next season, with the forward returning to Leeds United after the conclusion of his loan spell.
The Hill Dickinson Stadium won’t see Abdoulaye Doucure returning in a Blues shirt after his contract expires at the end of June.
With the Toffees entering a new era at their new stadium under The Friedkin Group (TFG), the Americans are working on building a much more competitive squad.

The news outlet reports (8 June) that the Turkey international has been approached by the Blues this summer regarding a move to the Premier League.

Yilmaz’s record at Galatasaray this season.
It’s been claimed that the Merseyside outfit will soon make an offer worth more than £16million plus add-ons, but the Super Lig outfit want a little over £29m for him.
With the Istanbul club’s demands higher than what’s going to be offered, it remains to be seen how the situation will unfold.
Moyes will hope for squad overhaul in summer transfer window at Bramley-Moore Dock
Iliman Ndiaye has been Moyes’ talisman at the Toffees this season, impressive with his creativity and threat in the final third since moving from Olympique Marseille.
The Senegal international has made the left wing his own, and it would be surprising to see him lose his place in the starting lineup next season.
While Yilmaz primarily plays on the left-hand side of the attack, he’s also capable of playing on the right and down the middle.
Everton will have Dwight McNeil back at the start of next season after he missed most of the current campaign with an injury.
The Toffees do lack options in the attacking third, with Jesper Lindstrom also returning to Napoli at the end of the season.
Moyes will undoubtedly want TFG to sign a quality striker at the Hill Dickinson Stadium, but more depth is evidently needed out wide.
With Dominic Calvert-Lewin’s contract expiring soon, a new number nine may be the priority at the Merseyside outfit, but other areas need to be bolstered, and Yilmaz seems like a decent option.
