Everton want 'five new players this summer' as James Tarkowski deal moves closer

Everton 's transfer business is set to pick up in the near future - with a report tonight claiming that 'five new players' could be on their way to Goodison Park.

After a season in which the Toffees avoided relegation on their penultimate matchday, the club will be looking to bounce back with a strong campaign. In order to do so, Frank Lampard will be looking to inject some fresh ideas into the squad in terms of players. First on the agenda, a deal for out-of-contract Burnley defender James Tarkowski looks close to being completed.

And according to The Telegraph, Lampard is hoping to do business with his former club Chelsea for midfielders Billy Gilmour and Conor Gallagher. Gilmour endured a tough season on loan at relegated Norwich City, while Gallagher had the opposite with Crystal Palace, playing a major role in their FA Cup semi-final run and picking up his first England senior cap under Gareth Southgate.
