Everton are reportedly working on a deal to sign Nantes forward Moses Simon.

Everton have busy summer on their hands
PSR shouldn’t be as big an issue as it once was at Everton, and while The Friedkin Group has taken control of the Merseyside club from Farhad Moshiri, fans shouldn’t expect a free-spending summer.
However, it’s going to be a big summer nonetheless, with key players’ contracts and loan deals expiring, Kevin Thelwell leaving his role as director of football and incoming chief executive Angus Kinnear wanting to bring Nick Hammond with him from Leeds.
