Why Everton want Rafael Leao - and taking inspiration from the new Tottenham Hotspur ground

It's the first of two Royal Blue podcasts for the week with host Phil Kirkbride joined by regular guests Dave Prentice, Adam Jones and Chris Beesley, who kick things off by debating Michael Ball's latest column for the ECHO in which he calls on Everton to sign a back-up goalkeeper this summer.

Does Jordan Pickford need fresh competition? And is a new number two a luxury the club cannot afford?

The panel have their say before talk turns to transfer target Rafael Leao and whether a move for the 'Portuguese Mbappe' will solve a long-standing problem.

Keep or sell - All of Everton's 36 first-team players' summer transfer fates assessed  

That in turns leads to a discussion about the work of Marcel Brands, and the differences between the Dutchman and his predecessor Steve Walsh.

Before the podcast rounds off with a detailed chat about Tottenham's impressive new stadium, what inspiration Everton can take from it as they look to Bramley-Moore Dock, and also including the issue of single-tier stands, statues and naming rights.

Enjoy.
