Although the latest takeover attempt at Everton fell through, club sources have said there will not be a fire sale and the wider transfer plans remain the same.

More arrivals are expected with winger Jesper Lindstrom through the door and Leeds United forward Wilfried Gnonto of interest.

Keeping hold of prized asset Jarrad Branthwaite would be a huge boost going into the new campaign and the Toffees have already rebuffed two offers from Manchester United.

91�ȱ� Sport was told on 10 June Everton would need a "mega" offer to even consider selling the player and that stance remains the same.

Everton also have a new stadium to look forward to, which remains on track to open for the start of the 2025-26 season, highlighting signs of positivity amid the ongoing takeover uncertainty.
