Areas in need of attention?

A disappointing campaign has only increased the likelihood of Everton’s three most coveted stars – Lukaku, Stones and Barkley – being sold, so replacing those could be key to the Toffees’ success next term. A top quality goalkeeper is desired, though the club may favour a more youthful candidate as back up to Joel for the time being. As far as most Evertonians are concerned, their best bit of business will be replacing Martinez.
