Everton have their sights set on the summer transfer window, with Lens centre-back Facundo Medina on The Friedkin Group’s (TFG’s) radar.

David Moyes has been impressive at Goodison Park since returning, taking the Toffees significantly clear of the relegation zone, which seemed unlikely under Sean Dyche.

The Blues beat Nottingham Forest 1-0 at the City Ground on Saturday (12 April), taking them above the likes of Manchester United and Tottenham in the table.

Supporters will want to see TFG back the Scottish manager in the coming months, and it looks like the American owners are already working on reinforcing the Merseyside outfit’s squad.

Medina transfer wanted by Everton next summer

Medina is attracting interest from the Toffees ahead of the upcoming transfer window, according to Caught Offside.

The news outlet reports (13 April) that the Blues are closely following the 25-year-old defender, who wants to leave Lens for a more ambitious project.

The French club want between £25million to a little over £35m for Medina in the upcoming transfer window, with Premier League rivals Newcastle United and Aston Villa also in the race.

Moyes deserves TFG transfer backing next summer at Bramley-Moore Dock

Moyes will start next season at Bramley-Moore Dock, which will arguably be the start of a new era at the Toffees.

In recent seasons, the Merseyside outfit have consistently been involved in relegation battles under Farhad Moshiri’s ownership, and fans will want to see a change in that regard.

TFG’s initial months at the Blues have been encouraging, and much of the success has come down to the change in manager, with the Scotsman pivotal at Goodison Park.

If the Americans sign someone like Richarlison at Everton next summer, it would evidently be a sign of their ambitions at Bramley-Moore Dock.

Medina’s arrival would undoubtedly showcase their willingness to invest in the squad, with the Argentina international one of the best centre-backs in Ligue 1 this season.

James Tarkowski has formed an impressive partnership with Jarrad Branthwaite, but the former Burnley defender has been somewhat of a liability at times in recent matches due to his decision-making.

The Toffees should upgrade their backline before the upcoming campaign, and it will be interesting to see whether the Blues can beat Newcastle and Aston Villa to Medina’s signature.
