#3 Lucas Digne

Lucas Digne on his way to Everton

The French defender, Lucas Digne, has long been wanting an exit from Camp Nou as the lack of playing at Barcelona has cost his place in the World Cup winning French national team.

That has been on the back of his mind ever since this transfer window opened and has made up his mind that he would never be an understudy to Jordi Laba going into the new season.

Barcelona have even confirmed the defender's exit on their twitter account.

Leighton Baines is not the same player as he once used to be and Digne's arrival could very well limit his minutes on the field and Digne will surely become Marco Silva' first choice left-back next season.

#2 Yerry Mina

Yerry Mina

The Colombian defender has earned rave reviews for his performances at the World Cup and since then, he has been having a lot of clubs hot on his heels to get him signed up. Yerry Mina suffered a torrid time during his time at Barcelona as he was not even able to get himself on the bench and for most days was asked to train alone.

Mina wants to leave Barcelona and Everton is his preferred destination

The strong central defender has come a long way since then and is the latest target for both Manchester United and Everton. Given his bad experience at a top club and his struggle to find more minutes on the field, will surely direct his decision towards Everton where he will surely be the first choice centre-back along with Ashley Williams.

The deal is expected to cost Everton in the region of £20 million.

#1 Jordan Pickford

Another World Cup prodigy, Jordan Pickford has had a number of clubs chasing him for his signature ever since the world cup campaign where he was absolutely magnificent between the posts. The Everton board are fearing his inevitable exit as clubs like Dortmund and Chelsea are keen to sign the England international.

After his performance at the World Cup, he will surely not come cheap and will demand a hefty fee in the region of £50 million. Chelsea could be his most likely destination as rumours suggest that Real Madrid have already agreed on a deal in principle to sign Belgian goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois.

The deal has not yet been finalized as the Blues are looking to sign a replacement for him before letting the player leave. Pickford is their number one target.
