Everton captain Phil Neville says they must land quality in the summer market.
Neville said: "In the big games, especially against the top four, we have missed that special player a little bit, and that is what we need to find during the summer. We have to press on now and compete for players with the clubs above us.
"We have to be looking at the same players they are, if we are to catch them up. If we don't, fifth will be the most we can expect. If I thought this club was going backwards, I would be the first out. But I think I'm at a club that wants success, and hopefully it is just round the corner."
