Everton are already drawing up a list of targets ahead of the summer transfer window, which opens at the start of June.

The Friedkin Group want to drive down the Everton squad’s average age, as they’re the third oldest in the Premier League.

As such, the focus will very much be on recruiting young players, with Sunderland teenager Chris Rigg strongly linked with a move to Goodison Park.

Ipswich Town striker Liam Delap is also on David Moyes’ radar after his breakout season in the Premier League.

And now, the latest transfer rumour sees Everton linked with a former Tottenham Hotspur player who’s now plying his trade in Turkey.

Everton eyeing former Tottenham Hotspur defender Davinson Sanchez

Everton will be very busy this summer, as a whopping 13 players are out of contract at the end of the season.

Indeed, not all will depart, with the likes of Idrissa Gana Gueye set to be offered a new contract, but Michael Keane is one who’s certain to end his Goodison Park stay, and it seems the club have identified a replacement.

According to Fanatik, the Merseysiders are keeping close tabs on Galatasaray centre-back Davinson Sanchez.

The former Tottenham Hotspur man is valued at around £17m and has made it no secret that he’d like to return to the Premier League, thus greenlighting Everton to make a move.

The Toffees were eyeing Sanchez last summer and there were reports that a £15m bid was lodged.

Sanchez doesn’t fit Everton’s new recruitment policy

Everton’s new recruitment policy suggests a move for Sanchez is unlikely, given he celebrates his 29th birthday in June.

The Columbia international would require a sizable investment and yet, he may only have a few years left in his prime.

So, it would be surprising if Moyes does sanction a move for Sanchez, who’s already been exposed in the Premier League with Spurs.

Everton have seen plenty of managers come and go over recent years.

Another Premier League team who find themselves in the same boat is Tottenham Hotspur, and they are expected to make another change this summer.

David Moyes got his first victory back on Merseyside against the Lilywhites in January as Spurs now find themselves below the Toffees.

The Friedkins will be delighted with their Moyes hire following some really poor signs being shown at Everton under Sean Dyche.

Unless Spurs secure Europa League triumph, the same will not be said about Ange Postecoglou in north London.

With another managerial change on the horizon in N17, Spurs are looking at another former Everton manager as their potential successor for Postecoglou.

Tottenham eyeing former Everton manager Carlo Ancelotti

It has already been suggested Tottenham are interested in Marco Silva to potentially make the switch across London.

Whether Spurs could drag him away from Fulham is another matter on the back of what is set to be their worst Premier League campaign ever.

According to Give Me Sport, their poor season may not stop them from being ambitious and making a move for Real Madrid’s Carlo Ancelotti.

It is suggested the 65-year-old has been discussed internally at Spurs, but the Lilywhites are well aware of how difficult it would be to secure his services.

Ancelotti has, of course, enjoyed a brief spell in the Premier League during his time at Goodison Park.

But Ancelotti did manufacture a move back to Real Madrid after receiving a phone call during their last managerial search.

Question marks hang over the Italian’s future at the Santiago Bernabeu following their recent elimination from the Champions League.

Ancelotti has been linked with the Brazil national vacancy, which would certainly prove a shock move if that was to happen.

What Carlo Ancelotti previously said about the Premier League

Ancelotti could help return Richarlison to form if he was to make the move to north London this summer.

The pair have worked together during their time at Goodison Park.

Incredibly, Ancelotti claimed Richarlison could win the Ballon d’Or, but he has instead found himself struggling with his post-Everton career.

Speaking back in 2015, Ancelotti said he had a real hunger to return to the Premier League following his time at Chelsea.

“I’d like to go back to the Premier League. It is the ideal environment not for football, but for the ‘game’ around football,” he told Corriere dello Sport.

“You can work with the right amount of pressure, the necessary detachment and calm. Before I quit, I’d like to have another experience in England.”

It will be interesting to see whether his time on Merseyside filled that hunger.

Everton will be in the market for many new players this summer – but the club may be set to miss out on one defender target.

Everton have pulled clear of the relegation zone and the club’s safety will soon be confirmed.

But attention has already turned to next season, and fans are hoping for a really good first campaign at the new stadium at Bramley-Moore Dock.

It will be a busy summer for The Friedkin Group, because lots of players’ futures are uncertain.

Several stand to leave as free agents when their contracts expire, so in theory, the squad will be looking very different next season.

One player Everton have been linked with in recent months is Kyle Walker-Peters – but a claim has been made to suggest the Toffees have work to do.

Tottenham take lead in Kyle Walker-Peters transfer race after Everton interest

One position that Everton will look to strengthen this summer is right-back.

Both Ashley Young and Seamus Coleman are out of contract in the summer and realistically, neither should be options next season and should be allowed to depart, as is currently the plan.

MORE EVERTON STORIES

Of course, Jake O’Brien has been playing there over the past couple of months and done extremely well.

But Moyes has said O’Brien will eventually play in central defence, so Everton need to reinforce at right-back.

Kyle Walker-Peters has been on Everton’s radar for the last few months.

Like Coleman and Young at Everton, he’s out of contract in the summer at Southampton.

Due to that, he has interest from several clubs. And perhaps ominously for Everton, Tottenham Hotspur – who are Walker-Peters’ former club – are showing the most interest in the player according to Caught Offside.

Everton need to beat Spurs to Walker-Peters

Southampton have been hopeless this season, but Walker-Peters has been something of a shining light for the Saints.

And clearly, plenty of clubs feel he could do a job for them.

Everton are crying out for a new right-back, and Walker-Peters – hailed as ‘brilliant’ by his previous manager Russell Martin (via BBC Sport) – on a free just makes complete sense.

He’s got good experience in the Premier League, and the money Everton would save on signing him could then be put towards other positions.

But Spurs’ interest is a problem. Walker-Peters may feel he has unfinished business there, and he also left them on very good terms.

Everton may have just been handed a transfer warning by Fabrizio Romano.

A huge summer awaits Everton in the transfer window with plenty of work needing to be done.

But it will not just be signings which make the headlines on Merseyside as David Moyes prepares to wave goodbye to numerous players.

Everton are looking to address four key positions this summer as they look to really improve the quality of their squad.

This will be the first opportunity the Friedkins have had to really put some money into the side.

However, Everton are also facing a battle to keep some of their top players at the club with interest gathering from other Premier League clubs.

After being appointed earlier this year, Moyes has been keen to sign a new full-back for Everton.

The Toffees have a real lack of depth at left-back and Tottenham Hotspur could soon see their options reduced, too.

According to Fabrizio Romano, Tottenham are braced for interest from Manchester City in their left-back Destiny Udogie.

The Italian is said to have real interest from Pep Guardiola and his side ahead of the summer transfer window.

This is bad news for Everton as, according to The Boy Hotspur, Tottenham have shown interest in Vitaliy Mykolenko as they also look to bolster their depth.

The 25-year-old is the only senior left-back Moyes actually has available to select at Goodison.

Mykolenko did return on the weekend after picking up an injury scare during the Merseyside Derby earlier in the month.

Tottenham may now increase Vitaliy Mykolenko interest

Everton are keen to hand Mykolenko a new contract after a solid showing from the Ukraine international in what has been a turbulent campaign.

However, this may come under pressure if Spurs are going to find themselves in a position where they need a new left-back.

Interestingly, Everton do hold interest in Richarlison, which could potentially open up some room for negotiation.

But Everton are not in a position to be offloading Mykolenko due to the lack of options in their squad.

Nathan Patterson played at left-back against Arsenal in Mykolenko’s absence, and although he impressed, he is probably not the long-term solution Moyes is looking for.

Everton have seen plenty of managers come and go in recent years, but finally look to have the right man for the job.

David Moyes has transformed the fortunes on Merseyside after Saturday’s win has dragged the Toffees up to 13th spot in the table.

In three months back at the club, Moyes has only lost two games in the Premier League with Everton.

Jamie Carragher and Thierry Henry praised Everton’s tactics after Moyes kept the Blues fighting for the win deep into stoppage time.

Although the likes of Sean Dyche are yet to do anything of note since leaving the club, there are some managers to have left Everton and gone on to succeed.

And there is one, in particular, who is being eyed by Tottenham Hotspur as their potential successor for the struggling Ange Postecoglou.

Tottenham eyeing former Everton manager Marco Silva

There are a lot of Everton fans who’d have Marco Silva back after his impressive stint in London with Fulham.

MORE EVERTON STORIES

According to David Ornstein, Spurs are now eyeing the 47-year-old as their possible replacement for Postecoglou this summer.

The Australian’s future in north London appears to be reliant on Thursday’s Europa League clash against Eintracht Frankfurt.

“If they are to make they alteration, names such as: Andoni Iraola who we’ve spoken about there. Marco Silva who we will see against him tonight [Monday]. Of Oliver Glasner who is impressive so much at Crystal Palace,” said Ornstein.

“There will be plenty more in the frame if there is to be a vacancy there because Tottenham is such an attractive club.”

Since leaving Merseyside, Silva has slammed Everton fans for their lack of belief during his time at the club.

To be fair to Silva, he has gone on to prove himself elsewhere following Farhad Moshiri’s decision to sack him.

Everton told they made huge mistake sacking Marco Silva

Gary Lineker has praised Silva for the work he has shown during his time at Fulham.

Silva has been able to drag the Cottagers up into the top half in what has been a turbulent Premier League campaign on the whole.

The Toffees have actually lost the same number of games as Fulham, but the Londoners have been able to put more wins on the board.

Jamie Carragher has also hailed Silva as a top manager after what he has seen this season.

Everton fans will be delighted with the work Moyes has done since January, but there have been a great deal of issues in the dugout since they moved on from Silva.

Everton have enjoyed some real bright sparks this season despite their overall struggles.

David Moyes has been able to steer the Toffees clear of relegation since he made his return to Merseyside.

The remainder of the season will act as an interesting test for Everton as the Blues are now all but safe from the drop.

Everton are eyeing Emanuel Emegha ahead of the summer transfer window as they look to bolster their attacking options.

Numerous issues have plagued the Toffees in attack, with injuries and players lacking any real consistent form.

However, there is one player who has really shone this season under both Sean Dyche and Moyes.

Tottenham snubbed Everton star player Iliman Ndiaye

In what has been a turbulent season for the Blues, Iliman Ndiaye has really impressed at Everton since singing in the summer.

Even under Dyche, the Senegal international showed signs of being a real talent.

MORE EVERTON STORIES

Nidaye played from the start on the weekend against Arsenal, and speaking to the Everton YouTube channel, he admitted a number of Premier League clubs snubbed him when he was younger.

“I went to trial at Charlton, Southampton, Reading, Tottenham, Chelsea, Crystal Palace. People were telling my Dad to his face: ‘He’s never going to be a football player’,” said Ndiaye.

“I wasn’t bothered. In London, there’s a lot of football players who train with Southampton, if you’re good enough you’ll go to Southampton to do a trial [but it never worked out].”

After weeks out through injury, Ndiaye has returned to Everton’s side and he did not take long to get back up and running.

The goal scored from the penalty spot showed exactly what Everton have been missing in his absence, with the forward showing some real quality in attack.

Iliman Ndiaye is outperforming Heung-min Son

Jamie Carragher has hailed Ndiaye for his performances on Merseyside this season in a struggling side under Dyche.

Despite spending some time on the sidelines through injury, Ndiaye leads the way in front of goal for the Toffees.

And the Senegal international is outperforming Tottenham Hotspur’s captain Heung-min Son who has established himself as a world-class forward.

Ndiaye even scored a stunning solo goal against the Lilywhites in what was Moyes’ first victory back on Merseyside.

Everton bought Ndiaye for £15m from Marseille, and he could have provided Spurs with a lot more attacking threat than what Son is offering them this season.

The anticipation of the summer transfer window is building as Everton fans will be hoping The Friedkin Group put words into action.

With The Friedkins having a quiet first window in January, much is now expected to happen at Everton in the summer.

David Moyes will have a large part to play in these signings, as Moyes is saving Everton’s money for summer deals.

But this won’t stop the backroom team around the club from drawing up certain signings for the window.

The name on every fans’ lips is Richarlison who Moyes likes, and a major development has given more reason why a return to the Toffees is possible.

Major development in Richarlison returning to Everton

It’s a risky move from Everton, but everyone knows what Richarlison can be like as a fan favourite around the club.

The Brazilian is certainly a character that would be welcomed back, but Richarlison’s recent injury struggles could be a red flag to the ownership.

On the other hand, Evertonians would get a monumental boost from his arrival, and now journalist Eduardo Burgos has hinted at a development that sways that way.

MORE EVERTON STORIES

Writing on X, Burgos suggested that Richarlison and Tottenham would meet in the coming weeks to decide his future.

Brazilian teams are looking into his availability, but the priority for the striker is to stay in Europe.

His return to Brazil will prove very difficult, but it is not ruled out either, although it looks like a European club will be his destination.

Moyes can back up Champions League claim at Everton with Richarlison

It won’t happen overnight, but Moyes hopes to transform the Toffees into a team on the European stage once more.

With their current Premier League status, this now looks miles away, as the Everton boss just wants safety secured.

Once this job is done, though, Moyes can create an incredible feeling around the place, and the addition of Richarlison could make Everton look frightening.

An attack starring Illiman Ndiaye, Richarlison, and a possible new, vibrant winger can bring back a sense of progression, and with Richarlison pushing for a Tottenham exit, this can certainly happen.

This can open doors for Everton with this new-look attack, and Moyes could achieve Martin Keown’s claim that Everton get Champions League.

A huge summer awaits Everton in the transfer window as the club looks to continue their development under David Moyes.

The Friedkin Group could not have asked for much more after they made their managerial change in January.

Even Sean Dyche admitted appointing Moyes was the correct decision from the new owners on Merseyside.

It will be a big summer for Everton who are moving into their new state-of-the-art home.

But there is a lot of work needing to be done in building a squad suitable for what Moyes wants to achieve with the club.

One name which continues to crop up is former Everton forward Richarlison whose future in north London remains uncertain.

And there has just been a fresh twist to emerge out of north London ahead of the summer transfer window.

Richarlison’s Tottenham stance amid Everton interest

Everton are keen to bring Richarlison back to Merseyside this summer ahead of their move to Bramley-Moore Dock.

MORE EVERTON STORIES

However, it may not be a straightforward potential deal for the Toffees, with Richarlison still having two years on his current deal.

According to the Daily Mail, the Brazilian is actually keen to have another chance at Tottenham Hotspur and prove his ability.

The 27-year-old is set to make his return from his latest injury over the coming days with next week’s Europa League clash being eyed.

It has been another injury-riddled season for the Brazilian who is now left with just weeks to try and show his worth to Ange Postecoglou.

Just a few days ago, Richarlison posted an image of him in an Everton shirt, which certainly will have teased some of the fans.

The move to Spurs just has not worked out for Richarlison as a result of injuries, but Everton could offer him a return to Merseyside.

Richarlison receiving interest from Brazil

In the report, it claimed Spurs received an offer of around £16m in January from Brazilian side Flamengo.

But Tottenham are looking for £40m to sell Richarlison this summer.

And at the age of 27, it would certainly prove a controversial move for the forward to return to his homeland.

Richarlison would be keen on a Premier League move if he was to leave north London this summer and that could potentially be on the cards.

Spurs have not seen enough from their £60m investment in the Brazilian.
