Days later, David Moyes will take his side to Ewood Park to face Blackburn Rovers before the first team squad travels to the USA for the Premier League Summer Series tournament.

With the close season now behind the club, work is now focused on preparations for an historic first season at the Hill Dickinson Stadium.

This is how Moyes’ squad, which could not fill a 20-man Premier League matchday allocation without academy youngsters, currently looks.

TWO SENIOR GOALKEEPERS ON THE BOOKS

The Everton first-team squad now boasts 17 players if young goalkeeper Harry Tyrer is counted within it.

The 23-year-old has not made a senior outing for Everton but does have consecutive seasons of loan experience behind him, having had successful spells at Chesterfield then Blackpool.

Moyes will no doubt want at least one signing with greater experience to provide cover for Jordan Pickford but, as it stands, Tyrer would be in line for the squad next week.

Everton do have talent in their academy in this position - George Pickford had a good year in the Under-21s last season and teenager Douglass Lukjanciks is a highly-rated England youth international.

Both are with the squad in Scotland for a preseason training camp this week.

But Tyrer looks set to be the backup in these early days of training ground work.
