Everton Summer Departures
It has been a summer of departures only so far at Everton with not a single new arrival yet at Goodison Park. Sean Dyche’s side only narrowly avoided relegation from the Premier League at the end of last season and signings are certain to come at some stage, but progress is slow.
A number of players have left, though, with the likes of Tom Davies, Asmir Begovic, Andros Townsend and Yerry Mina released and Moise Kean, Isaac Price and Niels Nkounkou leaving for fees.
