Everton boss Ronald Koeman wants to lift the quality of his squad this summer.
Koeman is already making plans for the summer, with the Dutchman hoping to gatecrash the top six next term.
"We have had several meetings and know what we want," he said. "It's up to the board now to make the deals.
"If we can do our business this summer the team for next season will be really strong but it's difficult sometimes.
"We're already two or three months into getting a picture of what we need. Let's hope we do good business."
