Good morning and welcome to your Everton FC live blog for Tuesday, July 18.
Pre-season is well and truly underway following last Friday's first win of the summer in Switzerland, now the Blues are back on Merseyside and gearing up for friendlies against Tranmere Rovers and WIgan Athletic later this week. It will have be seen whether Sean Dyche and squad's return also sparks some incomings to follow sole signing Ashley Young through the door.
Attackers are currently the hot topic in the Everton rumour mill, with Leeds United's teenage sensation Wilfried Gnonto and Sheffield United's Iliman Ndiaye spoke of lately. Reports suggest there has been a bid turned down for the former, whilst Goodison Park officials have been handed a boost with regards to the latter.
As for outgoings, Demarai Gray and Jordan Pickford's names continue to be mentioned. Both are said to be attracting Premier League suitors, so is worth keeping an eye on.
