Everton are not messing about when it comes to their transfer business this summer.
With European football back on the agenda in the form of the Europa League next season, as well as Ronald Koeman aspiring to get into the Champions League, the club have already been spending the big bucks pumped in by billionaire Farhad Moshiri.
Jordan Pickford, Davy Klaassen, Sandro Ramirez and Michael Keane have all put pen to paper so far, in business that has cost the club in excess of £85 million.

Still, the Toffees aren't stopping there and we can expect further incomings at Goodison Park.
One such arrival could be Benfica and Mexico forward Raul Jimenez.
Reports in Portugal, namely from Record say Everton have tabled a £39.6 million bid for the 26-year old, who recently turned out for the Mexico national team at the Confederations Cup.
Though the former Atletico Madrid made only six league starts in Benfica's Liga NOS triumph last term, Benfica will not let the striker leave on the cheap and are said to be demanding €50 million (£44 million) for his services.

West Ham and Liverpool have also been linked with Jimenez, who became the most expensive Mexico player of all-time when Benfica purchased the remaining fifty per cent of his economic rights last year.
