Everton remain active in the transfer market with the deadline now just eight days away.
David Moyes has made his transfer plans clear and is hopeful the Friedkin Group are able to deliver at least two ‘seasoned’ additions.
Everton are interested in Dan Neil, who has excelled in the Championship with Sunderland over the last couple of years.
The Toffees are also looking at Baris Alper Yilmaz, but the finances required to land his signature may prove too costly.
With that said, here’s what the Friedkin Group are now planning to do in order to give Moyes a bigger budget in the transfer window.

Friedkin Group want new investors to boost transfer kitty
According to Alan Nixon, the Friedkin’s are looking to bring American investors on board in order to provide more funds to Moyes in the transfer market.
The Everton owners welcomed more than 12 investors to Merseyside last week as they seek to strike a deal with one.
It’s not yet known if any concrete talks were held but the intention to gain additional financial support is clear.
The Friedkin’s have looked at investors closer to home, with local fans George Downing and Andy Bell, but they’re yet to agree a deal with the multi-millionaires.
Moyes will have to settle for limited funds in the immediate future
It seems for now, Moyes will have to settle for perhaps only one or two additions in the transfer market this month.
Everton aren’t out of the woods PSR-wise, so they have to operate on a sell-to-buy basis until the new financial year begins at the end of June.
Beto may have to be sold if Moyes is to bring in someone of his own, but Serie A outfit Torino are put off by his £16m price tag.
There’s clearly a lot of moving parts going on within the club at the moment.
