Everton boss Marco Silva says they must step up their transfer efforts.

Silva is eager to strengthen his newly inherited squad.

"We have to do it," Silva told the Liverpool Echo. “We have our targets and we have already decided the positions we want to improve in our squad.

“We believe in all of our players but, for sure, we will do that and we have decided our targets.

“Our board, our chairman, our sporting director, they are doing everything they can to give me the players I ask them for."
