Everton’s summer window has gotten off to a lively start following a nervous opening couple of weeks due to their PSR concerns.

Sean Dyche‘s side are now out of the woods when it comes to the financial regulations this summer and their attention can be turned towards new additions.

The likes of Ben Godfrey have departed already this summer having helped the Toffees to balance their books.

And Everton have already been able to bring in players like Iliman Ndiaye and Tim Iroegbunam to bolster Dyche’s options.

There could already be another summer addition in the offering with Everton showing interest in a player whose agent is working on finding him a new club.

Everton keen on midfielder who is set for summer move

With Andre Gomes and – technically – Dele Alli leaving Goodison Park as free agents this summer, midfield reinforcement could be needed.

Everton had been linked with a potential move for Leicester City midfielder Wilfried Ndidi this summer.

However, the Nigerian has now put pen to paper on a new deal with the Foxes ending any hope of a move to Merseyside.

But there is another former Premier League midfielder who is emerging as a potential target for Dyche.

According to Gazetta dello Sport, Everton and Newcastle United are currently showing an interest in the Juventus midfielder Arthur Melo.

The Brazilian midfielder has just returned to Turin following a spell out on loan with Fiorentina with new coach Thiago Motta now at the helm.

And it would appear the 27-year-old is not in the plans of the former Bologna boss with his agent already working on his exit.

The report claims there is nothing concrete between Arthur and the interested clubs, however, he does look set to be on the move this summer.

Arthur spent a period of time on the red half of Merseyside but it was a period of his career which did not go to plan.

Injuries meant the 27-year-old play a mere 13 minutes of football for Liverpool.

However, since his struggles at Anfield, Arthur has spent time on loan with Fiorentina where he has been able to rediscover his best form.

This is the best moment of my career,” he told Revelo back in May.

“Physically, it’s been the season that I’ve played the most minutes in over all these years. Also with much more experience under my belt after having played in several leagues and teams. It’s a mix, mentally and in terms of maturity, I feel phenomenal.”
