Director of Football Steve Walsh has revealed how Everton’s summer transfer plans ramped up as soon as the January window closed - and that “a lot of work” has been done behind the scenes to bolster the first-team squad during the off-season.
Walsh and his team of staff have been working closely with manager Ronald Koeman to put into practice the ongoing recruitment strategy - including the identification, scouting and due-diligence of potential new signings.
Last month, Koeman revealed how he would constantly be in dialogue with Walsh and Club officials during his summer break to ensure the Blues are ready to act and secure the right transfer targets.
