11 free agents who Everton could still sign in the summer transfer window
Everton are poised to sign James Tarkowski as he prepares to leave Burnley but there more unattached players available.
It’s no secret that Frank Lampard is looking to strengthen his Everton squad this summer.
After successfully steering the Toffees to Premier League safety last season, the focus is now very much on the future.
Lampard’s aiming to ensure Everton do not face another relegation scrap and instead push up the table.
However, given the financial problems at Goodison Park, Lampard may have to be shrewd when it comes to his transfer business.
James Tarkowski is expected to be announced as Everton’s first signing. The centre-back has left Burnley upon the expiry of his contract and will join the Blues on a free transfer.
Indeed, there are several other unattached players available who could appeal to Lampard.
We take a look at those who’re still to sign for a new club.
