It remains unclear how Brexit is going to affect the UK at large so trying to second guess just what kind of impact it might have on Everton remains speculative to say the least but there are certain factors that appear likely to come into place when the country finally does depart from the European Union – providing that it actually happens!

While the likes of Gylfi Sigurdsson, Lucas Digne, Morgan Schneiderlin, Maarten Stekelenburg and Andre Gomes were all established internationals when they signed under the potential future rules there may have been issues when recruiting the likes of Kurt Zouma as he only has three French caps; Joao Virginia and even Everton stalwart Seamus Coleman as he was famously plucked from Sligo Rovers for just £60,000 long before he won the first of his 49 international caps to date and became captain of the Republic of Ireland.
The other big change could concern the signing of overseas players for the club's Academy teams with a potential ban on bringing in foreign imports under the age of 18 such as Nico Hansen; Pawel Zuk and Einar Iversen.
