Everton are set for what is going to be a game-changing summer on Merseyside.

David Moyes now has four Premier League games to see out the 2024/25 campaign having already secured survival.

After back-to-back defeats for Everton, the Toffees will be looking to get back to winning ways this weekend against Ipswich Town.

Moyes has proven a lot of pundits wrong with what has been a seriously impressive return to the club since January.

Securing Premier League football for next season is just another big boost for the club’s finances which are set to take an upturn this summer.

One of the club’s sponsors has even shed light on what fans can come to expect after meeting with The Friedkin Group recently.

Castore founder shares exciting Everton insight

Bramley-Moore Dock will increase Everton’s revenue by £60m per year with the ability to upscale on matchday experience as well as host external events.

This summer, Everton will be taking a major leap forward to bring them a lot closer to some of the top sides in the division.

Speaking to the Liverpool Echo, Castore founder Tom Beahon has provided insight on his recent meeting with the new Everton owners.

“A lot of people said to me at the time that it [Everton] was a big risk, but we felt it was a massive opportunity,” he said after investing under the tenure of Farhad Moshiri.

That gamble has now paid off with Castore now invested in the club who have just been taken over by the American billionaire, Dan Friedkin.

“Having met the new ownership group, having been to that new stadium, there is a palpable sense that there’s now a long-term vision here and there’s the commitment to stay the course to achieve that vision that, with no disrespect, was not there under the previous regime,” the founder of the £1bn business added.

“So, it’s a very exciting time for the club and we’re proud to be part of it.”

The Friedkins are looking to capitalise on the US market as the Americans believe there is an awful lot to be gained by taking Everton stateside.

Hearing how much more proactive the new owners are in comparison to Moshiri has to be incredibly promising for all Everton fans.

Everton ready to land lucrative shirt deals

Prior to these comments from Beahon, Everton chairman Marc Watts recently suggested the owners would be looking to profit off the Everton shirt.

Castore are locked into a multi-year deal with Everton and are on the brink of their third campaign with the Toffees.

Everton are going to need to find themselves a new front-of-shirt sponsor ahead of the ban on a certain industry coming into play at the end of next season.

And Watts has claimed the Everton shirt is something which can be used to bring in some lucrative deals for the club.

“People love the kit, so we’ll take full advantage of that,” he said.
