Robert Elstone says that Everton will be ‘busy’ in this summer’s transfer market.
Several targets have already emerged as Ronald Koeman looks to guide the Blues to the promised land of the Champions League in his second season in charge.
Among them are Swansea midfielder Gylfi Sigurdsson and Burnley’s Michael Keane while a return for Wayne Rooney from Manchester United is also touted.
And Everton chief executive Elstone has confirmed that the club’s corridors of power will be abuzz with transfer activity during the forthcoming close season.
“It’s really important big summer for us and the club will continue to make big investments,” he told Radio City Talk.
“The squad will continue to grow and improve and it will be a very busy and exciting summer for Everton fans.
“Looking back at the last summer transfer window, the transfer window changed enormously.
“Transfer fees went through the roof and wages went through the roof and I think more of the same will happen.
“What we’ve got to do is operate in that window as we always have done, looking out for best value and being as good as we can in terms of negotiating and getting the best bang for our buck in that sense.
“I’m pretty sure Everton will be busy in the transfer window.”
