Everton will undergo plenty of changes in the summer as the club looks to balance multiple off-the-pitch issues.
That will certainly affect the squad as it depends on how much money will be readily available for replenishing the squad after a difficult period. As it stands, eight players could depart at the end of their current deals and there is concrete interest from multiple clubs for Amadou Onana and Jarrad Branthwaite which could earn the club over £100m.
Therefore, we’ve decided to look at the rumours regarding transfers at Everton to see how their starting XI could look like next season. Values taken from Transfermarkt.
1. GK - Jordan Pickford
The England number one committed to his future last year and will continue to be at the club.
2. RB - Nathan Patterson
The 22-year-old will be keen to make the step up and start more regularly, particularly with Seamus Coleman set to leave when his contract expires.
3. CB - James Tarkowski
The Everton centre-back is a key figure and has been ever since he joined the club.
4. CB - Jacob Greaves
The Hull defender has gone through the levels of the EFL and is almost a like-for-like physical replacement for Branthwaite. Photo: Tony Johnson
