Everton have made a number of exciting signings this summer, but there is still time for more arrivals.
David Moyes is now preparing for the first competitive game at the Hill Dickinson Stadium on Sunday afternoon.
Some interesting selection decisions lie ahead of the 62-year-old, with Everton failing to impress in their game on Monday against Leeds United.
Everton are eyeing Tyler Dibling as an option to add to their options at right wing before the transfer window shuts next month.
However, there are other areas of the pitch which Everton feel need addressing.
Everton want to bring in three more signings, but they may already be looking to upgrade one summer signing.
David Moyes eyeing Thierno Barry upgrade for Everton
It has been suggested that Thierno Barry will become Everton’s starting striker, but it does not appear as if he is ready to take on that responsibility just yet.
Everton spent some significant money on Barry, who left Champions League football behind to join the Blues.
According to iNews, the early indication is that the Frenchman is not yet ready to lead Everton’s frontline in the Premier League.
As a result, Everton are said to be keen to bring in another striker before the window shuts.
By no means is Barry being written off already, but there is clearly some concern about putting too much pressure on his shoulders too soon.
There have been some suggestions that Everton are considering a move for Jamie Vardy, as he looks for his next club.
An experienced figure could be exactly what Everton needs with a lack of Premier League experience across their current options.
What David Moyes said about Thierno Barry at Everton
On Monday evening, Barry came off the bench, but he replaced Carlos Alcaraz who was playing on the right wing.
Speaking to the media on Friday, Moyes admitted he is more likely to choose one striker to start, instead of changing formation to accommodate both.
“I don’t know if I would always go that way [Barry on the right]. But I wouldn’t say that I wouldn’t do it, as I’ve done it in the past,” said Moyes.
“I’m probably more liable to choose one or the other.”
Barry has impressed in Everton training, but translating that into games is a totally different question.
Going off the report, it would seem that Barry is not in line to start on Sunday against Brighton, but he will likely feature from the bench.
