MARTIN KEOWN: There are issues all over the pitch for Everton but the midfield needs urgent attention - this could be when Duncan Ferguson becomes a candidate for the manager role full time at Goodison Park

Everton have splashed out more than £500million under Farhad Moshiri’s ownership but too much of that has been wasted.

A few signings can be regarded as successful, such as Dominic Calvert-Lewin, Richarlison and Jordan Pickford, but I could fill these pages with the names of the ones that didn’t work out.

For all that money spent, Rafa Benitez left with a 26.3 per cent win percentage — the worst of any coach in the post-David Moyes era — and Everton are managerless.

Now it’s big Duncan Ferguson to the rescue again.
