Key Highlights :
     With just 29 days left until the new Premier League season kicks off, Everton manager Sean Dyche is reportedly keen to complete four new transfers. According to The Telegraph, the Toffees are facing serious financial limitations with exits already sealed for Ellis Simms and Ishe Samuels-Smith. Ashley Young became the first transfer of the summer on Thursday 13 July, with four more deals wanted in the next 29 days, with a busy month expected.
     Despite the big sales of Richarlison and Anthony Gordon in the past couple of years, Everton are facing limits on what they can actually spend. Rafa Benitez and Frank Lampard faced the exact same trouble in their times in charge, and now Dyche must find a way to box smarter in the transfer market. With pre-season training now well underway, Kevin Thelwell will also be working very hard to get some transfers off the ground for Dyche and his squad.
     Anthony Elanga at Manchester United appears to be the next cab off the block, with the Sweden international heavily linked with a move to Goodison again. Relegated players such as Jack Harrison and Wilfried Gnonto at Leeds appear to be out of reach at this moment of time, despite their club dropping out of the Premier League. That only highlights how bad the finances are right now under Farhad Moshiri after years of reckless spending, and the profit and sustainability charge hanging over our heads.
     MSP Sports Capital and their investment cannot come soon enough, but that is likely to have little bearing on transfer activity, with losses and the new stadium more immediate concerns, it seems. Four new transfers seem ambitious, let’s hope we are proven wrong.
     The transfer window has been open for a few weeks now and Everton have been relatively quiet, with the only acquisition being the signing of Ashley Young. With the new Premier League season just around the corner, the Toffees will need to get their transfer business done quickly if they are to make an impact on the league this season.
     However, Everton are facing serious financial limitations with exits already sealed for Ellis Simms and Ishe Samuels-Smith. This has put a strain on the club’s ability to bring in new players, with the club now having to box smarter in the transfer market.

Four new transfers seem ambitious, but if Everton can pull it off, it could be the catalyst for a successful season ahead.
     The Toffees have already missed out on some of their top targets, but this could be a blessing in disguise, as it will force the club to look for players with better value for money. Everton have already shown that they can be shrewd in the transfer market, and if they can replicate this in the coming weeks, they could be in for a successful season.
     The next 29 days will be crucial for Everton as they look to build a squad capable of competing for a European spot this season. With the financial limitations in place, Dyche and Thelwell will need to be at their very best to get the deals over the line. Only time will tell if they can pull it off, but one thing is for sure, Everton fans will be hoping they can.
