Everton are prioritising a new right-back this summer - but who should they sign?
A look at some of the options, including those tracked so far like Guela Doue & Ben White
Doue seems like ideal fit but valuation may be problematic

News + some analysis on Mykolenko's new deal
Everton need more from their full backs next season. Ukrainian decent depth option, but aim should be to bring in more progressive type to compete with him for left-back berth
Adam Aznou unlikely to be that player *yet

EXCL: Everton face a fight to keep hold of Iliman Ndiaye this summer. New contract(s) has been on table for months but remains unsigned
Forward has 3 years remaining on current deal, so #EFC in strong position. Desire to keep key man

Sense in market that Hayden Hackney's contractual situation means he should represent good value this summer
Everton have tracked him for 2+ years & want at least one CM
Champ data considered outstanding, hence widespread interest
@theathleticfc.bsky.social
Iliman Ndiaye has not, at this stage, asked to leave Everton
But his rejection of new deals, plus interest from elite clubs, means speculation will continue over his future
So what should Everton do, should a big offer arrive?

Early interest in Middlesbrough's Hayden Hackney for CM
Expected to be open to offers for several fringe players
