Everton made the first three signings of the Rafa Benitez era earlier this week as pre-season got well underway for the Blues.
But can we expect the new Blues boss to add any more fresh faces to his squad before his first season in charge kicks off on August 13?
Here, we take a look at the latest gossip and rate how likely the rumoured moves are to happening…
Who?
Marvelous Nakamba
Where?
What?
Everton have set their sights on Aston Villa midfielder Marvelous Nakamba over a potential transfer, according to the Daily Mail.
The 27-year-old signed for Aston Villa in the summer of 2019 from Belgian outfit Club Brugge but has yet to score a goal or make an assist in 50 appearances for the Midlands side.
Aston Villa are said to be keen on bolstering their midfield options which could see the Zimbabwean fall down the pecking order.
Everton could take advantage of the situation and swoop in for the defensive midfielder this summer.
Who?
Richarlison
Where?
Spanish outlet El Gol Digital
What?
Real Madrid aren't the only La Liga side interested in Richarlison this summer.
Atletico Madrid are planning to challenge their local rivals as they are also said to be eyeing a move for the Brazilian.
Real boss Carlo Ancelotti is keen on a reunion with Richarlison at the Bernabeu but now faces competition in the Spanish capital.
Richarlison is currently representing Brazil in Tokyo and Rafa Benitez has claimed the 24-year-old owes Everton for letting him play in both the Copa America and the Olympics this summer.
Who?
Matheus Nunes
Where?
What?
Wolves are now interested in signing Matheus Nunes, after Everton pulled out of the race following Rafa Benitez’s arrival, according to A Bola.
Everton were said to be close to signing the Brazilian when Nuno Espirito Santo was the favourite to replace Ancelotti at Goodison.
However, Benitez's arrival at the club killed the rumours as the new manager is said to have different plans and doesn’t seem to be interested in signing Nunes.
Sporting Lisbon will accept nothing less than €18million (£15million) for the 22-year-old, who made 39 appearances last season, according to A Bola.
