Dan Friedkin is leading the charge to sign ‘phenomenal’ player he desperately wants at Everton

Everton are putting plans together for what will need to be a busy summer transfer window.

The Friedkin Group will finally get their opportunity to put their money where their mouth is this summer after taking over in December.

Following the tenure of Farhad Moshiri, Everton were hamstrung in the January transfer window by PSR.

David Moyes is expecting Everton to be backed by their owners this time around with wholesale changes expected on Merseyside.

Big changes are going to be made both on and off the pitch at Everton this summer as they prepare for their stadium move.

Bramley-Moore Dock is going to be a financial game changer for Everton who will see their revenue stream grow massively.

And there is one player who Dan Friedkin would love to see playing for Everton as they open their new stadium.

Dan Friedkin personally wants to sign Dan Neil for Everton

Everton are looking to sign a new midfielder this summer with some of their current options set to depart the club at the end of the term.

It is a key area of the pitch which has seen numerous injuries over the course of the campaign.

According to Team Talk, Friedkin is personally pushing for the signing of £15m-rated Sunderland midfielder Dan Neil.

The South Shields-born captain is someone who Friedkin would even consider moving for with AS Roma over the summer.

Everton enquired about the 23-year-old back in January along with West Ham United.

The future of the midfielder will largely depend on whether Sunderland can secure their long-awaited return to the Premier League.

Sunderland will not engage in transfer talk over Neil and Chris Rigg amid their ongoing play-off push to get back into the top flight.
