Everton boss Marco Silva is on the hunt for quality new recruits this summer but must trim his squad first.

Everton are looking to go in a different direction this season after replacing the unpopular Sam Allardyce with Marco Silva.

But Silva must cut a bloated Everton squad to make money available for reinforcements as the club’s billionaire major shareholder Farhad Moshiri will not be repeating last summer’s transfer splurge, as reported by The Times.

The sell-to-buy policy was outlined by Marcel Brands, the Toffees’ new director of football, who said that his first priority was to significantly reduce a pool of 38 players.

And Silva’s kitty could be boosted by the £14 million sale of midfield flop Davy Klaassen, according to Turkish media outlet Fotomac.

Everton midfielder Davy Klaassen has been linked with a move to Turkish giants Besiktas.

And Fotomac claims the Toffees could stand to recoup £14 million of the £23.6 million the club shelled out on the Holland international if the deal goes ahead.

The deal would be structured as a loan with an obligation to buy according to the Turkish sports newspaper.

The Black Eagles have offered Everton a two-year loan deal which would include a £3.5m fee per season followed by a £7m obligation to buy clause which would could make Everton a grand total of £14m.

Silva would not only be getting decent money for a player who has failed to make an impact at Goodison Park but is also trimming the wage bill while raising vital funds to bring in his own players.
