Everton are set to complete their first signing of the summer transfer window.
Ashley Young is expected arrived at Goodison Park and pen a short-term deal ahead of the 2023-24 season.
The 38-year-old has a wealth of experience under his belt, having made 677 senior club appearances. He also won the Premier League, Europa League, FA Cup and Carabao Cup with Manchester United and Serie A title at Inter Milan.
Young joins the Toffees on the back of his departure from Aston Villa. He was released at the end of his contract, having made 57 outings in the past two seasons.
It means that the versatile performer moves to Everton on a free transfer. Given the precarious financial situation that the Blues find themselves in, recruiting unattached players could be important.
With that in mind, here’s a look at who is still available for Sean Dyche’s side.
