Everton are looking to make some exciting signings in this summer’s transfer window.
Following The Friedkin Group’s takeover back in December, this will provide the American billionaire his first real opportunity to splash some cash.
It is expected the Friedkins will financially back David Moyes in the upcoming transfer window.
Everton are going to be in need of some serious additions over the coming months considering the number of players set to leave at the end of their deals.
It has been suggested Everton have submitted a bid for David Hancko, but it has been rejected by Feyenoord.
However, it is not just in defence where the Toffees need to improve and they are looking to bolster their attack.

Media react as Everton target Tyrique George scores first Chelsea goal
According to sources at Everton News, Everton are showing interest in Tyrique George and have even been to watch him in action.
The young forward was in action for Chelsea on Thursday night in their Europa Conference League quarter-final.
And the national media have been reacting to his performance as he scored his first senior goal for the Londoners.
| Outlet | Comment |
| Evening Standard | The 19-year-old had a night to remember in Warsaw, breaking the deadlock for Chelsea shortly after half-time to register his first goal at senior level. |
| Goal | The teenager showed plenty of vigour and quality and showed good attacking instincts to get his first ever goal for the club he has been at since 2014. Did well as a winger and a number 10. |
| Daily Mail | Not only did Tyrique George demonstrate poacher’s instincts to score his first senior goal for Chelsea, he then celebrated in front of those flare-wielding fans with a knee slide in the corner, having sent his club towards the semi-finals of the Conference League. |
| BBC Sport | Winger George, who has never started a Premier League match but regularly featured in Europe, showed quick reactions to hand the Blues the breakthrough in Poland, tapping home when Reece James’ long-range strike was pushed out by goalkeeper Kacper Tobiasz. |
The 19-year-old is not the only forward the Toffees are targeting with Everton also showing interest in Liam Delap ahead of the summer.
But George’s stock will likely have risen since last night after he put his name on the map in the Europa Conference League.

What Joe Cole said about Tyrique George
Jack Harrison is set to leave Everton over the summer as his loan deal comes to an end.
Besides Iliman Ndiaye, Everton’s wingers have left a lot to be desired this season and some fresh blood is needed over the summer.
Everton are looking to sign a new winger over the coming months, and George is certainly showcasing himself to be a real talent.
Speaking on TNT Sports, Joe Cole waxed lyrical about the 19-year-old talent ahead of the game against Legia Warsaw.
“He’s been a real bright spark. He’s played in these games and George has taken his opportunity,” said Cole.
“He’s direct, he’s affecting the games. He’s every full-back’s nightmare because he gets at them and makes things happen.”
However, after seeing what he produced in Europe on Thursday night, Chelsea may be worried about allowing another talent to slip through their fingers.
