Everton are expected to make their first summer signing in the coming days.

New Everton manager Marco Silva is set to finally complete his first signing as Toffees boss after Richarlison was spotted on Merseyside for a medical, and he could follow it up with an excellent bit of business that will see one join, and one leave.

Indeed, 21-year-old Richarlison is expected to join for a fee of £50million from Watford, as Silva looks to increase his options in attack. But he is not the only winger Everton are interested in.

Turkish Football claim Everton are also interested in Celta Vigo winger Emre Mor, just a year after the Turkey international joined the Spanish side from Borussia Dortmund for a fee of £12million.

The 20-year-old is still regarded as one of the hottest attacking prospects in Europe, but has somewhat fallen by the wayside a tad since his move to Dortmund where he suffered a number of niggling injuries.

Everton are interested in landing the pocket-sized assassin on loan, and the 5ft 6in attacker could be the perfect replacement for a Toffees winger that looks to be on his way out.

The Liverpool Echo has reported that Leicester City, Fulham, Crystal Palace and Fenerbahce are all interested in winger Yannick Bolasie, who is yet to properly regain his form since a long-term knee injury.

With Richarlison set to join the club, Bolasie will plummet down the pecking order and with a contract worth £75,000 a week (Daily Star), he simply is not worth keeping at Goodison Park.

Offloading Bolasie will see Everton claw back some of the £30million they gave Palace for his services, as well as wiping his pay cheque off the wage bill. Replacing him with Mor would give Everton, youthful, raw talent in attack.

Silva will have Richarlison, Mor, Ademola Lookman and Nikola Vlasic to choose from, with all three below the age of 23, while Theo Walcott will be able to help bring the best out of the quartet.

Mor in, Bolasie out, would be excellent business both on and off the pitch.
