Sean Dyche is not worried about transfers. Not now. Not with a job to do this season.
Every week rumours appear, as they always do, about who Everton are scouting or targets they have lined up. Ignore them. Dyche will be aware, as will everyone at Finch Farm, that the squad he inherited lacks the strength in depth to avoid a difficult season and that too much pressure is placed on the shoulders of Dominic Calvert-Lewin.
But Dyche’s focus is on the next 12 games. Preparatory work is going on behind the scenes over the summer transfer window, with plans drawn up for both scenarios - that of Everton retaining their top-flight status and of the almost unthinkable alternative. Dyche’s focus is solely on the players already at his disposal though. And it has to be.
