Everton have recorded a number of big wins on home soil in recent weeks.
Graeme Sharp has warned that ‘it won’t be easy’ for Marcel Brands to offload players in the summer as he claimed that Everton fans want on-loan duo Andre Gomes and Kurt Zouma signed up.
Marco Silva’s side have a big summer ahead of them if they are to properly challenge for any European places next season and try to prove their worth in domestic competitions.
There is still a chance that they can finish seventh this term, but Wolves are in the driving seat to secure that European spot because they are four points ahead with two games remaining.
Speaking to Sky Sports News (30/04/2019 at 5:55 pm), former Toffees man Sharp spoke about Everton’s summer ahead and what potentially awaits them.
“We have got to realise there are a lot of players in the squad,” Sharp told Sky Sports News. “I think you look at it and think Marcel Brands coming in has got to decide what players are going in and who is going out. It’s not as easy as people think in maybe offloading some players.
“So, it’s going to be a busy summer for them. Let’s wait and see. We have two players on loan, at the moment in Gomez and Zouma, who have been excellent. If you ask any of the fans they would love to see them tied up and tied up soon.
“But look, nothing is easy in football, so we will have to wait and see. Hopefully, looking forward to next season already.”
Silva was appointed Everton boss last summer after Ronald Koeman and then Sam Allardyce had walked the Goodison Park touchline the season before.
Initially, the former Hull City and Watford manager struggled to prove his worth as his team produced a number of indifferent performances.
But in recent weeks, especially in front of their own supporters, they have beaten the likes of Arsenal, Chelsea and Manchester United to give fans hope of a bright future.
Summer signing Zouma and Gomes have played a big part in that, with the duo on-loan at the club from Chelsea and Barcelona, respectively.
