Fabio Capello will be making the trip to Merseyside this summer, with some exciting plans shared for Everton.
At this stage in the year, all of the focus is on transfer happenings, of which several are in the pipeline at Everton ahead of what will be a crucial Premier League campaign.
Thierno Barry’s arrival is imminent after a deal was agreed with Villareal, with plenty of other business expected in the coming weeks.
However, the latest update serves a benefit from a different perspective, with a huge event set to take place at the Toffees’ new home, the Hill Dickinson Stadium.
