With the signing of James Tarkowski confirmed and the sadness regarding the departure of Everton favourite Richarlison, Frank Lampard and director of football Kevin Thelwell continue to work behind the scenes to prepare for transfer business this summer.
The duo will have to work smart, with funds reportedly tight at Goodison Park as Everton continue to deal with Financial Fair Play barometers and manage the move to their future Bramley-Moore Dock stadium.
With a number of fringe players under contract, and unlikely to be moved on due to their wages, the Blues may have to compromise in some of their summer business.
