Everton have announced three first team fixtures as part of the club’s pre-season plans.
The Blues will face Tranmere Rovers, Bolton Wanderers and Stoke City as part of the club’s preparations for next season.
The games follow the announcement of a reunion with Blues legend Duncan Ferguson, who now manages Forest Green Rovers, for the club’s Under-21s side in July.
All of the games announced so far will take place away from home.
