In the wake of a takeover and a managerial change, Everton hope they have enough quality to avoid relegation ahead of a busy off-season

Carlos Alcaraz is already thinking about making his transfer to Everton permanent. The midfielder joined the Blues on loan from Flamengo on deadline day on an initial loan deal. While the transfer has seemingly been in the works for a few days - Flamengo announced an agreement had been reached on Friday - Everton needed to file a deal sheet with the Premier League to ensure the transfer was done.
