Everton are set for a busy and chaotic week.

That’s because the Friedkin Group are expected to complete their Everton takeover on Wednesday, after a long drawn-out process.

The American investors have just gained Premier League approval and now the finishing touches on the deal are being made.

Whilst that process nears completion, Dan Friedkin is already lining up a £100m deal for Everton as he seeks a sponsor for the new stadium on Bramley-Moor Dock.

The colossus deal would allow The Toffees much more freedom to spend in future transfer windows and it would eliminate the risk of any further PSR breaches.

With that said, it’s just come to light what the Friedkin Group are planning to do this Janaury window.

The Friedkin Group plan to invest in January transfer window

According to TEAMtalk, the Friedkin Group are planning to invest in the January transfer window and hope to bring in some new signings.

Everton are in desperate need of a centre-forward and Brighton’s Evan Ferguson has been linked with a move to Goodison Park.

Brazil striker Igor Jesus is also an option for Everton and he is thought to be available for around £16.5m.

The Toffees could also strengthen their backline with Tariq Lamptey a potential successor to veteran full-back Seamus Coleman.

Ashley Young has deputized well in place of the injured Coleman but as he approaches his 40th birthday, Everton must plan for the future.

Sunderland midfielder Chris Rigg is also an option for Sean Dyche this winter.

Friedkin Group are mindful of PSR restrictions

It’s understood the Friedkin’s are very mindful of Everton’s PSR restrictions and recognise the club remain in a weak position on that front.

Last month, Everton News revealed that The Toffees still have scars left from the PSR breaches earlier this year and there are still unresolved issues with the Premier League.

So, that could significantly limit their spend this winter, meaning it’s vital the club are trading and raising capital through player sales.

Beto is likely to leave Everton as he eyes a return to Italy.
