The squad numbers available to Everton's incoming transfers this summer

Everton's reshape last summer saw the arrival of players such as Brazilian starlet Richarlison, winger Bernard and Barcelona defensive duo Yerry Mina and Lucas Digne.

With Marco Silva and Marcel Brands at the helm once more the Blues look set for another crucial transfer window.

But what numbers are available for Everton's potential signings?

Everton have transfer contingency plans should they miss out on Gomes and Zouma 

The club have been open in their ambitions to sign defender Kurt Zouma and midfielder Andre Gomes on permanent deals following their impressive loan spells at Goodison Park.

The Chelsea centre-half wore the No. 5 and should he return it would likely he would take up that digit full time.

While the Barca man was handed the iconic No. 8 shirt - and Toffees fans would love to see the Portuguese maestro wear that shirt once again.

With the future of long-time servants Phil Jagielka and Leighton Baines still unknown, the remains a possibility the No. 6 and No. 3 could be up for grabs next season.

Unless of course new terms are agreed with the duo, whose respective contracts are set to expire at the end of June.

One player who will definitely leave Everton is Welsh defender Ashley Williams.

The centre-half, who arrived from Swansea in 2016, spent the season on loan at Stoke City.

Williams is out of contract at the club and will not receive an extension, therefore his No. 5 jersey was worn by Kurt Zouma for the duration of the campaign.
