Everton supporters have outlined their preferred transfer business as the summer window nears its August 31 closing date. A consistent demand from fans includes the recruitment of a recognised striker and a right-back, though opinions vary on the necessity of specific defensive reinforcements. Several supporters expressed interest in seeing Jack Grealish join the squad, particularly if current player Iliman Ndiaye departs the club. Others proposed potential targets such as Merlin Rohl, Brooke Norton-Cuffey, Dusan Vlahovic, and Myles Lewis-Skelly to strengthen the current roster. Some comments suggested that club leadership should prioritize immediate upgrades rather than pursuing depth options that do not improve the existing starting lineup. The feedback highlights pressure on the board to finalize recruitment strategies before the Tuesday 23:00 BST deadline.

"Lee: Everton player priority must be a striker, not a full-back! Jack Grealish would fit nicely into this team especially with James Garner and Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall. Also, don't sell Iliman Ndiaye at any cost.
