Everton are set for plenty of change this summer, both on and off the pitch.
The Toffees are preparing for their final game at Goodison Park on Sunday (18 May) as they make the move to Bramley-Moore Dock this summer.
The move represents the start of a new era for Everton, who are now under the ownership of The Friedkin Group, who are expected to back David Moyes during the transfer window.
Although the Scotsman has turned things around, there is still plenty of work to be done to push further up the Premier League table next season.
Finding the blend between experience and youth will be key, with Ashley Young the perfect example.

Everton make contract call on Young
Moyes will be keen for an overhaul this summer, but TFG know that business has to be measured with Everton having been stung by PSR restrictions before.
One area where the boss is looking to improve is the average age of the squad, with the hope of bringing that down and refreshing his Everton side.
With several players out of contract at the end of the campaign, Moyes has some decisions to make over who’s staying put on Merseyside.
Someone whose experience seemingly seems to be seen as a benefit is Young.
The defender is one of those out of contract this summer, but according to Bobble (15 May), Everton are set to offer him a new deal.
An agreement is yet to be reached but, despite being 39-years-old, and Young is now in talks with the Toffees to extend his stay.

Young could make sense for Everton
Although Everton need a refresh, Moyes is well aware that he cannot replace his entire side in one go and, therefore, reliable players are needed to provide the depth.
Young has been a servant at Goodison, too, so supporters won’t be too sad to see someone like him staying put.
Given he has made 30 Premier League appearances this season too, Young has certainly proved he still has the fitness to perform on a regular basis, which is exactly what his manager wants.
