Everton have a huge number of holes that need filling in their squad this summer.
David Moyes has seen numerous players depart Finch Farm in recent weeks as their contracts have come to an end.
There was a breakthrough earlier in the week, as Everton sealed the signing of Thierno Barry from Villarreal.
Adding an exciting addition up front will certainly excite Everton fans, but it is clear Moyes is not happy to dwell on landing Barry.
Angus Kinnear is aware of the work needed at Everton this summer, and the clock is already ticking to their departure for the Summer Series.
With both improved quality and squad depth needed, Everton are now holding talks over their next addition after the France U21 striker.
Everton hold talks with Mark Travers
Joao Virginia and Asmir Begovic both left Everton earlier this summer as free agents; they are both still looking for new clubs.
This has left Everton’s options extremely limited between the sticks outside of Jordan Pickford.
According to the Daily Mail, Everton have now begun talks with Mark Travers to potentially become their new number two goalkeeper.
It is claimed Moyes has now demanded a proven backup for Pickford, as Travers talks continue in the background.
Although talks are taking place, no agreement has been struck just yet between the two parties.
Moyes has made it no secret he wants new signings fast following the return of his squad at Finch Farm for pre-season training.
A huge amount of work is still needed, and the pressure is certainly being piled on Kinnear and the recruitment staff.
David Moyes can attract players to Everton
There is an awful lot going for Everton this summer having salvaged their season after the appointment of Moyes.
Everton hope the new stadium can attract better players, with the Toffees eyeing the likes of Jack Grealish.
However, there is also evidence their 62-year-old manager can pull new signings into the club.
The new striker signing admitted this much during his arrival on Merseyside, where Barry shared the conversations he had with Moyes.
It may only be July, but Moyes and the fans will want to see players quickly begin to land at Finch Farm.
