The Friedkin Group are finally making moves as Adam Aznou looks set to be an Everton player.

After just three arrivals this summer, David Moyes is asking for action at Everton, with The Friedkins listening.

Aznou has received an offer from Everton, and the deal could be finalised very soon, as full-back coverage is needed.

Although Vitaliy Mykolenko has been ever-so reliable, he has faced his struggles with the pressure of wearing the famous blue shirt.

This means the Moroccan could prove vital to Moyes’ regime, but after his transfer, the club will have to be very cautious with the money left.

Everton’s remaining transfer budget after Adam Aznou deal

The Friedkins have promised signings this window, and Moyes will be working hand in hand with the owners to make this happen.

Thierno Barry’s deal looks good value for the player Everton are getting, as a £27m transfer for a long-term striker solution isn’t bad going, especially for someone of his qualities.

It still has a big impact on the Toffees’ spending, though, as Everton have a £100m budget for this window.

There is still plenty of ambition left, and with Malick Fofana open to joining Everton, the 20-year-old’s arrival can match those hopes.

However, looking at the budget remaining, Moyes and the recruitment team will have to tread carefully.

With over £58 million seemingly left in the bank, it’s something for the Toffees to work with, but should Fofana join for a fee around the possible £31m, that would leave limited resources for Everton to build the rest of the squad.

Problem positions are being ticked off for Everton, but the transfer window still has plenty of twists and turns ahead.

The market is finally springing into life, but the right players need to be signed, and that seems to have been the issue for the manager so far.

Moyes says Everton are ‘working hard’, but there is still one position that the Scotsman will know needs to be sorted.

From the start, a central midfielder has been a ‘priority’, but so far, no movement has been made on that front.

Hayden Hackney could be Everton’s solution, and there is still time to add the young midfielder to the squad with the budget left, as it’s clear this should be the next step.
