Rafa Benitez plans 3 or 4 more signings this summer for Everton
Rafa Benitez is reportedly planning to bring in three or four more fresh faces to Everton this summer.
According to The Liverpool Echo, Benitez is looking at signing a right-back, midfielder, winger as well as an experienced backup striker.
The Toffees have been linked to the likes of Denzel Dumfries, Sean Longstaff and Dwight McNeil, but Benitez will have to consider alternatives if Marcel Brands fails to land his desired options.
Right positions?
We think that right-back and central midfield are certainly the need of the hour, but regarding a striker and winger, if Moise Kean is staying, then that would save us a decent amount which we could use to invest in the squad.
While we don’t have any immediate issues at centre-back, getting someone to be an upgrade on Ben Godfrey, Yerry Mina and Michael Keane would be beneficial and Benitez’s previous association with Kalidou Koulibaly could see him convince the Napoli defender to move to Goodison Park.
We could also look to sign an attacker under the age of 23 who’s capable of playing down the middle as well as on the flanks.
Andros Townsend and Demarai Gray’s arrivals have added to our strength in depth and now all we need are signings that will strengthen our playing eleven.
Thus far, our summer dealings have been underwhelming and we’ve got to sign some players quickly before there’s disgruntlement among the fanbase for our opening few games.
Hopefully, Benitez gives a few youngsters a chance in the first team as well, given how bloated our academy seems at the moment.
