Everton may have to replace two wingers this summer transfer window.
Jack Grealish and Tyrique George are due to return to their parent clubs Manchester City and Chelsea at the end of the season.
Everton are hopeful of re-signing Grealish, however, the finances of the deal could prove to be a stumbling block.

Ahead of the window, Everton have been drawing up a shortlist of targets and the scouts are now convinced they’ve found the perfect player for David Moyes.
Everton have already made concrete offer to sign Esmir Bajraktarevic
According to Bosnia and Herzegovina outlet Sport Sport, Everton scouts watched PSV winger Esmir Bajraktarevic against Zwolle last week.
Bajraktarevic netted twice in the game and provided a hat-trick of assists, so it’s fair to say he made a huge impression.
This isn’t the first time they’ve watched the 21-year-old in action; it’s understood the club have been keeping tabs on him for some time.

There's going to be some different opinions on this! 🫣
The report claims that immediately after the game, the Toffees decided the Bosnia international would be their top target.
In fact, a ‘concrete offer’ has already been sent to PSV, though there’s been no word on the figures just yet.
Bajraktarevic’s ‘speed, directness in one-on-one play and ability to play on both wing positions’ is said to make him an ideal recruit.
The 2005-born predominantly operates on the right flank, cutting in onto his favoured left foot, which has registered 12 goal involvements in just nine starts this term.
Bournemouth are also said to be circling along with RB Leipzig, who are both known for signing some of Europe’s best talent.
That’s a good indicator that Everton are searching in the right place.
