Your daily dose of Everton news and rumours

“We really want a good pre-season, we went in in the middle of the season fighting fire, you don’t get to train how you want, implement ideas like you want, it was all about results as soon as possible.
“This [pre-season] will give us a little bit more time to instill the ideas the manager wants and we’ve got to improve in lots of areas.” - Assistant Manager Paul Clement has been speaking about the importance of having a good pre-season and implementing a different style of play this summer.

Everton have been keeping tabs on Renne left back Adrian Truffert, possibly as a back up for Vitalii Mykolenko? [SRO]

Speaking of Mykolenko, he had a solid game as Ukraine dispatched Scotland 3-1 at Hampden Park in the first leg of their World Cup qualifier and are just 90 minutes away from going to Qatar later this year. Oleksandr Zinchenko, who has been linked with a move to Everton this summer, played in the middle and had a stellar game too.

“I was in good form [during the 2021/22 season]. I think my consistency levels over the past 18 months have been quite good and I’m really happy with it. I just want to keep getting better and better.
“I’m 28 now, so I’m one of the more senior players and I’ve got a few caps for my country. You have to be a leader when you are a bit older and you have that experience. I think I am one of them now.” - Jordan Pickford has been talking about his role in the Everton side. [EFC]
