00:00Everton's season has had its challenges

00:05but with Premier League safety easily secured

00:08and a sense of stability under David Moyes

00:10focus now turns to what's ahead this summer

00:14With financial pressures still lingering

00:17Everton may need to sanction some key departures

00:20Jared Brantwaite is attracting serious interest from top clubs

00:24and a significant offer could be too tempting to refuse

00:27Meanwhile the futures of Jack Harrison and Dominic Calvert-Lewin

00:31along with others remain uncertain with players linked two moves away

00:36But there's also room for careful reinvestment

00:40Moyes will likely prioritise proven hard-working players

00:43who can slot into his disciplined set-up

00:46Reinforcements in midfield and out wide seem likely

00:50especially with squad depth a clear issue during parts of the campaign

00:54Adding Premier League experience without breaking the bank

00:57could define their window

00:59And we spoke to Will Rooney of Liverpool World

01:02to explore the likely movements in and out of Goodison Park

01:06in the future as they move to Bramley Moor Dock

01:10in the coming months

01:12Will, on to Everton and in terms of their summer window

01:17and I would mention it's going to be a lot of change

01:20a lot of decisions to be made from Moyes and his team

01:23as to who stays

01:25and there's so many players on the edge of their contracts expiring as well

01:28How do they sort of navigate?

01:30You know, we mentioned the priorities of keeping that core group

01:33to try and make a big push

01:36because, you know, at the end of the day

01:38they've been really struggling down the bottom with the Premier League

01:40for too long now for Everton standards

01:42and Moyes has come in and, you know, he's signed the contract

01:45and he's made sure it's a good length contract as well

01:48to really push Everton forward

01:50you know, the new stadium

01:51so much is changing at the club

01:53they don't want to be settling for less

01:54you know, next season

01:56they want to really make a, you know, a strong push

01:59and the summer's so important for them

02:01Yeah, it's going to be

02:05we've discussed a few times

02:06it's going to be an interesting summer

02:08it's going to be interesting in terms of

02:09what funds are going to be available

02:12all now, we know that Everton have complied with PSR

02:15for the latest accounts

02:17so they don't have to worry about that

02:19but they still have to be careful

02:21they can't go out and obviously spend money

02:23like they have done in the past

02:25so

02:26David Moyes is going to have to try and prioritise

02:30he's going to maybe have to come to a couple of compromises as well

02:33when it comes to his recruitment

02:34as we say, 11

02:35I think it's 13, beg your pardon

02:37I was a contract now

02:39the current squad

02:4112 or 13

02:43but regardless

02:44it's a lot of players, isn't it?

02:47and

02:48you're going to have to try and keep some of those

02:50you're going to have to

02:52well, to doubt

02:53try and keep some of those

02:54do you try and

02:55tie down just a garner guy?

02:57I think everyone would say

02:58yes, you have to

02:59because he's been so important

03:00I've to lie to Corey

03:01I know some supporters would like

03:04Everton to move on

03:05but

03:05he is part of a core group

03:08and

03:09you've got to have a squad

03:10and you've got to have players

03:11that you can rely on

03:12and that's something that

03:14every Everton manager seems to

03:17do

03:18Jack Harrison has

03:20had

03:21a disappointing season

03:23one goal

03:25no assists

03:26but he is Premier League proven

03:28can David Moyes get more out of him

03:31than Sean Dykes did

03:33because there is a player there

03:34from what he did at Leeds

03:35and he's had a couple of good games

03:38in Nottingham Forest

03:39and Man City

03:41so there's decisions to make

03:44and as you say

03:44it's a balancing act

03:46if you get rid of these players

03:47who else can you bring in?

03:49who else can you bring in

03:49for the money and the wages

03:51because

03:52if you got rid of saying

03:54Abdullahi to Corey

03:54could you get

03:55two players in

03:56who are on his current wages

03:57or do you try and

03:59offer him

03:59a longer term deal

04:01for more security

04:02but

04:03it might not be

04:04as much

04:05as lucrative for him

04:07financially

04:08and you can go and

04:09stretch your budget

04:10a little bit more

04:11so there's all these

04:12different things

04:12for David Moyes

04:14and his recruiting staff

04:14to consider

04:15tackle schools

04:16that record

04:17you're not going to

04:18jock Jarrod Bramflees

04:20and Jake O'Brien

04:21wouldn't say

04:22no no that's fine

04:23you play

04:23naked pass

04:24because he didn't play

04:25a lot of football

04:25in the first half of the season

04:27and that's something to prove

04:28so

04:29it's a chance for Moyes now

04:32to have a look at another player

04:33and

04:34he might be a little bit wise

04:36about what he wants to do

04:37in the summer

04:37but

04:37come back to the original point

04:39yeah

04:39a sense of

04:40I can see him go and get

04:41getting one in the summer

04:43I can see him go and
