Everton are making significant changes to their squad under David Moyes ahead of the new season.
The situation surrounding Tim Iroegbunam
With the arrival of midfielder Christian Nørgaard, the club officials at Everton are open to transfer offers for 23-year-old midfielder Tim Iroegbunam.
Interest from England: The main contenders for the midfielder are the three clubs newly promoted to the Premier League: Hull City, Ipswich Town, and Coventry City.
Foreign option: Two Italian clubs are also showing interest.
Terms of the deal: With the player's contract running out in a year, Everton prefer a permanent transfer (valued at around £20 million) or a loan with an obligation to buy.
The transfer of Christian Nørgaard and strengthening the midfield
32-year-old Danish midfielder Christian Nørgaard is moving to Everton for £7 million and will undergo a medical on Tuesday. The former Brentford captain is brought in to replace Idrissa Gueye, who has left the club as a free agent.
The Merseysiders have already completed permanent transfers for Hayden Hackney, Tyreek George, and Merlin Röhl. The club is also prepared to let attacking midfielder Charlie Alcaraz leave, with River Plate showing interest.
Priority on the right-back position
David Moyes's main objective remains to strengthen the right-back position:
Alistair Johnston: The 27-year-old Canadian defender from Celtic is close to moving to Hill Dickinson Stadium. David Moyes personally held talks with Martin O'Neill.
Competition: Despite interest from Fulham, the player himself is leaning towards a move to Everton.
Departure of Patterson: Signing Johnston will pave the way for Nathan Patterson to change clubs.
