Everton are expected to sign at least one new wide player this summer.

Jack Grealish and Tyrique George are due to return to their parent clubs at the end of the season, although the former looks likely to re-sign on a permanent deal.

Everton have been keeping close tabs on Millwall star Femi Azeez, and Stoke City’s Sorba Thomas is also on their radar.

A West Ham attacker is another option being considered by David Moyes, and now their chances of signing him have surely been boosted.

Everton’s chances of signing Crysencio Summerville boosted

Following West Ham’s 3-0 defeat to Brentford and Tottenham Hotspur’s 2-0 victory over Aston Villa, it now looks like the Hammers are destined for relegation.

That means many of their star players will have to be moved on in the summer to facilitate the loss of earnings in the Championship.

Everton have been eyeing Crysencio Summerville in recent months, so that deal now looks much more likely to happen.

Summerville certainly won’t want to be plying his trade back in the second tier, which makes the Toffees an attractive destination for him.

It has been reported that Summerville could be available for just £26m, so Moyes and his recruitment team should be trying to wrap a deal up as quickly as possible.

Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall actually has the same agent as the Dutch winger, so perhaps he could persuade him to make the switch to Merseyside.

Tottenham Hotspur, Aston Villa, Bournemouth and Brentford are all believed to be circling the 24-year-old as well.
