Everton have been linked to a whole host of players both domestically and on the continent. <\/strong><\/p>\n

David Moyes<\/a> has a big summer transfer window on his hands as several first-teamers are departing upon the expiry of their contracts.<\/p>\n

The Everton<\/a> boss has admitted it\u2019s not an ideal scenario and he doesn\u2019t really want a major squad overhaul, but it\u2019s become a necessity. <\/p>\n

Dominic Calvert-Lewin is the latest Everton star expected to leave<\/a>, so clearly there\u2019s a pressing need to sign a striker.<\/p>\n

Villarreal\u2019s centre-forward Thierno Barry is on Moyes\u2019 radar<\/a>, and the Friedkin Group are reportedly ready to meet his \u00a333m release clause.<\/p>\n

A full-back is also on the agenda, following Ashley Young\u2019s exit<\/a>, and now it\u2019s just surfaced that Everton are weighing up a move for one in Germany.<\/p>\n

Seamus Coleman isn\u2019t getting any younger, and Young\u2019s exit makes a right-back a top priority this summer.<\/p>\n

With that said, according to TEAMtalk<\/a>, Everton are \u2018primed\u2019 to make a move for Mainz fullback Anthony Caci.<\/p>\n

Scouts have been watching Caci for a while and evidently have been impressed by his performances for the Bundesliga outfit.<\/p>\n

The 27-year-old\u2019s current deal expires next summer, so he is thought to be available for a bargain fee of around \u00a38.5m.<\/p>\n

Caci, who represented France at youth level, is extremely versatile as he can also ply his trade as a left-back, which would provide good competition for Vitaliy Mykolenko.<\/p>\n

Leeds United and Fulham to rival Everton for Caci<\/p>\n

Newly-promoted Leeds United are also reportedly eyeing a move for Caci following Junior Firpo\u2019s departure.<\/p>\n

Daniel Farke\u2019s side have around \u00a3100m to spend this window, so they certainly aren\u2019t short of cash and will be appealing.<\/p>\n

Fulham\u2019s interest appears the most advanced, though, as they held talks over a deal back in January, so they\u2019re well aware of his situation.<\/p>\n

Caci actually played predominantly as a wing-back last term, so that may be the only concern for Moyes and his staff.<\/p>\n

The Frenchman would certainly need to adjust to a new system should he make the switch to Merseyside.<\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Everton have been linked to a whole host of players both domestically and on the continent.
