Having almost secured their Premier League status for next season, Everton, under David Moyes, are already making plans for summer transfers as they prepare to move to Bramley Moore Dock.
Summer Transfer Plans Under Moyes Taking Shape
David Moyes is bringing stability to Everton after a period of upheaval. As they approach their final five Premier League games at Goodison Park before transitioning to the new stadium, the club is looking forward to a fresh start. The Friedkin Group’s takeover has cleared a significant portion of Everton’s debt, freeing up funds for summer acquisitions.
While Financial Fair Play regulations will influence Everton’s spending, optimism is high among fans eager for a stable financial future. Moyes’ ambition is evident in reported interest in players like AC Milan’s Tammy Abraham, West Ham’s Tomas Soucek, and Brentford’s Christian Norgaard, all considered to strengthen the squad.

With renewed optimism at Everton, the club is aiming for sustained progress. They are reportedly focusing on addressing the left-back position.
Dennis Cirkin of Sunderland Attracts Everton’s Interest
According to reports, Everton are targeting Sunderland defender Dennis Cirkin to compete with Vitaly Mykolenko at left-back.
Mykolenko is currently the only senior left-back in the squad, with Ashley Young as a backup due to his experience.
Dennis Cirkin is highly regarded, and Everton are among several Premier League clubs interested in signing him this summer.
‘Dennis Cirkin is an outstanding talent and has had an excellent season. Many Premier League clubs are monitoring him closely. Everton are looking for full-backs this summer and have been following Cirkin this season. He is a very interesting prospect.’
Cirkin, who has contributed five goals in 31 appearances for Sunderland, has demonstrated his attacking and defensive capabilities. Formerly with Tottenham Hotspur, Cirkin has completed 20 successful dribbles and won 183 duels in the league this season.
Improving squad depth is a priority for the Friedkin Group this summer, and Dennis Cirkin, with his potential and resale value, could be a popular signing among Everton fans.
