The summer window doesn’t open until June 14 but Everton have already confirmed some departures that have affected their squad.
Coincidently, that is the date of the start of Euro 2024, where many players will be in the shop window. The likes of Amadou Onana Jarrad Branthwaite are two names that everyone will talk about and they already have a lot of eyes on them.
Sean Dyche’s squad could look very different by the time next season rolls around so we’ve decided to look at what their best starting XI looks like right now.
9. CM - Abdoulaye Doucoure
Another key starter for Dyche, they may be able to find a more creative player in the market to play in this role but you have to commend the experienced figure for his contributions across the past two seasons - he's been crucial. Photo: Peter Byrne
10. RW - James Garner
With Jack Harrison back at Leeds United, he is in talks over a new move with Everton to remain in the Premier League. However, there has been no movement on that in recent times. Therefore, Garner would have to deputise on the right hand side, playing out of position. He has done it plenty of times in the past and been a crucial utility player. | Getty Images
11. LW - Dwight McNeil
One of Dyche's most trusted players, McNeil has been so key across his time at the club with his efforts down the left flank. He's also popped up with a few stunning strikes that have helped win vital points. | Getty Images
12. ST - Dominic Calvert-Lewin
With his contract up next summer, clubs are starting to eye him up but Everton have offered him a new deal. He managed eight goals in a season where he could have had another five or six if he had been more clinical. His Merseyside derby performance proves why a fully fit Calvert-Lewin is crucial to Everton. | Getty Images
