Everton will be planning strategically to find the right players to suit David Moyes’ regime.
Despite a solid end to the season, many drastic improvements are needed around Everton, and with the transfer window back open again, it’s time to get to work.
With as much as £100m to spend for Everton, it’s clear there is a budget there to be utilised for Moyes.
An early deal that looked to take a chunk out of that was Liam Delap’s £30m transfer, but the striker opted for a move to Chelsea.
Well, The Friedkin Group seems to have shied away from the big deals and are now looking at a bargain.

A new left-back would likely be on the radar for The Friedkins this summer as Vitaliy Mykolenko needs some much-needed competition.
Although the Ukrainian seems to be one of the more consistent members within the squad, Moyes’ side won’t go anywhere without knowing their positions are under threat.
This is what this window aims to bring to Everton, with a minimum of four signings guaranteed to occur.
A left-back is supposedly not on the radar, but that isn’t entirely true, as Nicolas Tagliafico has now emerged as an option for the Toffees.
MailOnline reports that the Lyon left-back is of interest to Moyes’ plans, as the Argentine will be out of contract this month.
Tagliafico was a key element in Erik ten Hag’s Ajax squad that remarkably reached the 2018/19 Champions League semi-final.

Carlo Ancelotti tried to sign Tagliafico for Everton as Moyes hopes for bargain
The 32-year-old is certainly an exciting candidate, and not only did he reach the latter stages of the Champions League, but he also has a World Cup under his name for Argentina, along with many other honours internationally.
The Argentine clearly comes with a solid rapport, and Moyes will be intrigued to have players with this pedigree in his squad.
For a free signing, it’s sensational business, but Carlo Ancelotti almost landed Tagliafico for £22.4m, before he had even achieved his World Cup triumph.
Moyes is clearly taking inspiration from Ancelotti, and despite his age, Tagliafico can transform the Scotsman’s side.
