Everton are seeking buyers for fringe players.

The Liverpool Echo says Everton must offload a number of their fringe players before being able to press ahead with their transfer plans this summer.

Sandro Ramirez, Yannick Bolasie and Mo Besic are among the players the Blues are looking to move on in order to help trim a still-bloated squad and reduce an inflated wage bill.

Everton will reinvest any proceeds from the sales of such players to help top up the transfer kitty available to Carlo Ancelotti, as he looks to inject quality into key areas of his squad, but the transfer market has been slow for the majority of clubs so far.

The Blues want a centre-half - and are chasing Lille's Gabriel - a central midfielder and a right-winger. A left-back, to deputise for Lucas Digne, is also needed following Leighton Baines' retirement.
