Everton have a big summer transfer window awaiting them.
It could be the first time in nearly a decade that Everton are recruiting as a European club, so they may be able to attract a higher calibre of player.
David Moyes has already been drawing up a shortlist of targets, with a striker certainly top of his priorities.

With that said, ahead of the window, we’ve picked out three players the Toffees should sign that’d genuinely turn them into a top-six side.

Alexander Sorloth (Atletico Madrid)
Moyes was ‘fixated’ on signing a striker in January, so it’s pretty obvious that’ll be one of his first additions this summer.
Liam Delap and Troy Parrott have recently been linked with the Toffees, however, there is a much better option out there.
Atletico Madrid’s Alexander Sorloth would be the perfect centre-forward for Moyes’ system as he’s excellent in the air and at linking up the play.

Remember him at Crystal Palace… would you like to see Sorloth at the Hill Dickinson Stadium? 👀

The 6ft 5in number nine is also at the peak of his career, having netted 17 times for the Spanish giants this term.
Sorloth, who celebrated his 30th birthday in December, is ready-made and wouldn’t need time to develop, like Thierno Barry.
Crysencio Summerville (West Ham United)
Crysencio Summerville is on Everton’s radar after his standout season for West Ham United.
Summerville single-handedly kick-started West Ham’s resurgence earlier this year, giving them a great chance of Premier League survival.
If the Toffees manage to land his signature, it’d be one of the best signings of the summer, as the Dutchman is only going to improve under Moyes.

The 24-year-old is a very similar player to Steven Pienaar, who flourished under the Scotsman’s stewardship.
Summerville, who has electric pace and athleticism, is the perfect wide player for the direction the league is heading.
Myles Lewis-Skelly (Arsenal)
Vitalii Mykolenko is one of the weak points in Everton’s team, as he’s become very error-prone and is so limited going forward.
Quite remarkably, Mykolenko gave the ball away a whopping 18 times in the Merseyside derby at the weekend.
Would this be a good signing on a one-year deal? 🤔
Kieran Trippier question.
Arsenal’s Myles Lewis-Skelly has been deemed a potential replacement for Mykolenko, and he would certainly take the Toffees up a level.
If Moyes signs the aforementioned three players, it wouldn’t at all be surprising to see Everton finish in the top six next season.
