Marcel Brands (right) says Everton must trim their squad this summer
Everton will need to “offload” a number of players this summer in order to raise transfer funds, according to the club’s new director of football Marcel Brands.
The Toffees spent over £200m last season signing the likes of Jordan Pickford, Gylfi Sigurdsson and Cenk Tosun – only to finish eighth in the Premier League at the end of the 2017-18 campaign.
Marco Silva was officially unveiled as the club’s new manager on Monday but Brands admits the Portuguese may not have as much money to spend this summer as former boss Ronald Koeman.
