The future looks bright at Everton as the Friedkin Group look to completely change the club’s trajectory.
Under the American investors, relegation battles should be no more, with PSR issues expected to be a thing of the past.
The new Hill Dickinson Stadium is set to generate an extra £40m-a-year in revenue, so David Moyes will be given a much bigger budget in forthcoming transfer windows.
Everton are already showing their intent this summer, with Manchester City winger Jack Grealish heavily linked to Finch Farm.
Habib Diarra is also on the Toffees radar after his stellar season in France, so it’s pretty evident the direction the club are going in.
With that said, Moyes has just announced his ambitious future plans with West Ham United used as inspiration.

David Moyes to unleash West Ham United plan at Everton
Moyes received an OBE honour at Windsor Castle this week for his services to football, having been on the touchline for over two decades.
The BBC managed to grab an interview with the Scotsman, and he revealed his ambitious plans for Everton.
The 62-year-old made no secret that European success is a target heading into the Hill Dickinson Stadium.
“We had an incredible time at West Ham and winning a European trophy,” Moyes explained. ” But now back at Everton, I’ve got to try and set the same sort of sights for Everton as well.
“In the early parts of my career when I was Everton manager, we did get to Europe quite regularly and it has to be, I feel as if it has to be a target for us.
“We have an exciting new stadium to move to, lots of good things happening, new owners coming in. Maybe we can’t do it too quickly, but we have to aim to get back to those levels.”
James Garner said top 10 should be the target for Everton
Speaking back in April, after a 1-0 win away at Nottingham Forest, James Garner admitted that a top 10 finish should be the aim next season.
“I don’t think many people would expect us to finish in the top half of the table next season, but we know and definitely know that we’ve got the players and we’ve got the ability, and we’ve definitely got the team to finish in the top half,” Garner said.
“So they’ve (Forest) gone on an inspiring run, and there’s no reason why we wouldn’t be able to do it.”
Indeed, that will likely be Moyes’ immediate target, but given the calibre of players they’re after, it wouldn’t at all be surprising to see a genuine European push next term.
