More Everton players could leave before the transfer deadline, sporting director Marcel Brands reveals to talkSPORT
But the Toffees chief assures fans not to fear over the futures of any of Marco Silva's key stars
Everton sporting director Marcel Brands has told talkSPORT ‘it’s possible’ more players could leave the club before the end of the transfer window.
It’s been a busy summer for the Toffees, who have spent close to £90million on a host of top players and also offloaded a number of out-of-favour stars.
Club-record signing Richarlison, Barcelona trio Yerry Mina, Andre Gomes and Lucas Digne and Brazil international Bernard are among the big signings to arrive at Goodison Park.
Meanwhile, hometown hero Wayne Rooney left for MLS side DC United, £23m flop Davy Klaassen joined Werder Bremen, Kevin Mirallas has been loaned to Fiorentina and Ashley Williams has moved to Championship side Stoke City also on loan.
There are still question marks over a number of players still at Everton, most notably 20-year-old Ademola Lookman, who fans want to stay at Goodison amid links with a permanent move away to German club RB Leipzig.
Brands joined talkSPORT host Jim White for an EXCLUSIVE interview on Thursday.
And, asked if more players could leave Goodison before the August 31 deadline, he said: “Yeah, it’s possible.
“I’m still busy with a few things.
“You never know, there still can be something happening in our squad.”
But the Toffees chief assured supporters there is no chance any of Marco Silva’s key squad members will be snapped up by other clubs, as the new boss aims for a positive start to his reign on Merseyside.
“It’s ok, we are trying to protect the players we want to keep in.
“I don’t worry about that.”
