Everton have a list of players drawn up to target during the January transfer window.
Strengthening Frank Lampard’s attacking options is the priority, with the club exploring the potential to sign more than one forward player. Lampard told the ECHO preparations for the window had been ongoing for some time, though there is an understanding the World Cup will further complicate a notoriously difficult time for business.
Everton are not in a position to spend without conscience, however, and finding improvements within the existing squad will be crucial to making progress this season. The belief at Finch Farm is this is a side in transition and that developing tactics and integrating summer signings, many of whom arrived well into this season, is essential to moving forward. There is confidence this will happen.
