Everton look set to be preparing for a busy summer transfer window after an impressive season, which could end in them qualifying for Europe.
David Moyes returned to the Toffees back in January last year, and since then, Everton have been on an upward trajectory.
With just seven Premier League games remaining, Everton currently sit in eighth position in the table, and they could even climb into the Champions League places with a win against Brentford this weekend.
Qualifying for Europe will force Everton into the market for some top-level reinforcements, and they'll be hoping to go to the next level, becoming regular contenders for European competitions.
Bringing in players like Jack Grealish and Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall has helped Everton get to where they are, and they need to repeat similar signings in the summer window.

Everton Must Sign Jack Grealish Permanently

The first move Everton need to complete in the summer transfer window is to make the signing of Grealish a permanent one, or at least sign him on loan again before his contract expires next year.
Before considering what he's done on the pitch this season, an update from The Athletic confirmed that Grealish has remained at Finch Farm, despite being ruled out for the campaign, when usually an injured player would return to their parent club.
The Athletic described it as 'telling' that Grealish chose to remain at Everton, claiming he wants to repay Everton for sticking by them.
The English winger has clearly developed a huge affinity with the club, and Everton need players who want to play for them.
The Toffees need to get it done as soon as possible after the latest update about him remaining at Finch Farm.
Romano: Everton in Grealish Talks

Speaking on his YouTube channel, Romano recently confirmed that Everton are in talks with Manchester City over Grealish remaining at the Hill Dickinson Stadium heading into the 2026/2027 campaign.
Grealish, described as 'phenomenal', is believed to be open to the possibility of making the move, according to GIVEMESPORT sources.
It appears that all parties want a deal to go through, so it makes sense for Everton to try to get it over the line before the summer.
Grealish is on a significant wage package, but the Toffees will likely be hoping that he's willing to make a paycut to stay with the club.
