While Everton fans are hopeful of an active summer transfer window, there are no guarantees due to their financial issues.
There will be some movement as we have already seen Andre Gomes, Andy Lonergan and Dele Alli depart but funds will need to be raised to help the club comply with financial fair play. Nevertheless, the squads needs strengthening once again and there are plenty of players that have been linked with a move that could help them build on their 15th-place finish.
Here’s what their starting line-up could look like if all the transfer rumours are true.

6. CM - Kalvin Phillips
If Amadou Onana is sold, Phillips on loan could be a good deal all round. While he has more exotic options from Italy and Germany, Phillips can be a key figure for Dyche and rebuild his stock in the Premier League. | Getty Images
7. CM - Wilfred Ndidi
While Leicester have just been promoted, his deal expires this summer and considering the Foxes could start the season with a points deficit, Ndidi may well jump ship. He rediscovered his fitness and goalscoring touch last summer and could provide extra experience for Everton next to Phillips and Idrissa Gana Gueye. Photo: Marc Atkins/Getty Images
8. CM - Abdoulaye Doucoure
