Everton are to undergo a significant off-field revamp this summer ahead of their move to a new stadium.
With the club seeking to kickstart a fresh era at Bramley-Moore Dock, Mail Sport understands there will be a raft of new arrivals to follow incoming chief executive Angus Kinnear.
Nick Hammond, who is thought to have played a key role in Leeds United’s promotion push, is expected to follow Kinnear over the Pennines from Elland Road, with his departure expected to be confirmed in the coming weeks.
It can also be revealed that the ambitious Toffees, taken over by the US-based Friedkin Group in December, are also seeking to bring in a head of football strategy and analytics and a director of football operations – along with a new chief executive for their women’s side - as part of a substantial rebuild which they hope will lay the foundations for an exciting future.
