Everton may have had a busy summer transfer window so far but they are by no means finished just yet.

There is still around a month for Kevin Thelwell to work his magic in the market having already signed four new players.

Sean Dyche has been handed some solid signings with the centre-back Jake O’Brien marking the latest addition at Goodison Park.

Everton‘s strong end to the 2023/24 campaign will have provided some optimism going into the new season.

However, the Toffees have not exactly gotten off to a flying start in their opening three pre-season friendlies.

But it seems as if there is still moves in the summer window which Thelwell is keen to make happen over the coming weeks.

Kevin Thelwell targeting three Everton sales

Alongside the four signings made by Everton, there have also been some notable sales made by the Toffees.

Of course, the main departure has been Amadou Onana to Aston Villa for £50m, but the sale of Ben Godfrey was also a big one for Everton to get done.

Thelwell was staring PSR right in the face towards the back end of June so offloading the Englishman to Atalanta marked good business.

However, having made two new signings over the last week, it may now be time for Everton to turn their attention back to creating some funds.

According to TeamTalk, Thelwell is ‘actively looking’ to offload three further players before the window shuts at the end of the month.

Those players are:

• Michael Keane
• Mason Holgate
• Neal Maupay

The report suggests that despite adding Tim Iroegbunam earlier this summer, Dyche has now made it his priority to replace Onana with a new midfielder.

Everton need to be careful with what they spend

Although Alan Myers has claimed Everton are financially sound for the short-term, there may now be some concerns beyond the summer.

Farhad Moshiri has seen The Friedkin Group’s proposed takeover collapse over recent weeks which leaves the club’s future still in the dark.

Financial expert Kieran Maguire has now suggested Everton could have until October before they could hit ‘crisis point’ with their finances again.

The whole takeover saga really is turning into an unwanted nightmare for Everton and fear over their finances is the last thing they need just 12 months out from moving into their new stadium.
