Chris Beesley - Remember the name, especially if DCL departs
So if we’re looking at realistic potential transfer targets for Everton this summer, we probably best start with free agents.
The Blues could do with a bit of pace – especially going forward – but I fear that there might be more PSR issues if they tried to lure Kylian Mbappe to Goodison Park for its final season and even an offer of free meals at the Hot Wok might not be enough to get a deal for the Frenchman over the line.
Perhaps a more-realistic proposition might be Che Adams of Southampton? It remains to be seen whether the Saints make an instant return to the Premier League via the Championship play-offs but either way the 27-year-old might decide it’s an opportune time for a fresh challenge after five years at St Mary’s.
Director of football Kevin Thelwell is understood to have had talks to sign Adams last summer before the club eventually splashed out £25.75million on Beto but the Scotland international who will be 28 by the time next season kicks off, is proven at this level and could bolster Sean Dyche’s attacking options for a minimal outlay.

Someone like Adams might prove even more important if Dominic Calvert-Lewin was to depart given that the current first choice striker – one of only four players to net 50 Premier League goals for the club – is about to enter the final 12 months of his current contract and claimed after the 1-1 draw at Luton Town that he had not thought about a new deal.
