Five free agents Everton should consider signing this summer Harry Wilson has had a decent season with Fulham and is Premier League ready (Photo by Ryan Pierse/Getty Images) Everton have four big games before the Premier League season concludes, with Europe still a possibility, albeit a scenario that is becoming increasingly difficult. ​Regardless of whether continental competition returns to the club next season, the Toffees need a strong summer of recruitment. ​The summer’s transfer budget is perhaps still to be determined, but shrewd use of the free-agent market could see available funds saved for priority positions.

There are some intriguing options Everton should be considering... Harry Wilson ​A deal that makes plenty of sense. Everton’s right wing has been a problem position this season, with Tyler Dibling given minimal opportunity to impress and both Iliman Ndiaye and Dwight McNeil more comfortable in other areas of the pitch.

​Wilson heads into this summer as a free agent after a career-best Premier League campaign at Fulham. The 29-year-old has scored 10 goals and added six assists, both personal highs. A superb set-piece taker and capable of the spectacular, the Welshman would represent a clear upgrade in a position of need.

Complications may arise from competition, with Aston Villa reportedly chasing a deal. The Villans are likely to have the carrot of Champions League football, though Everton can offer the Wrexham-born winger a closer return to home comforts. Marcos Senesi ​Tottenham Hotspur have laid the groundwork for a deal to sign Senesi from Bournemouth, though any transfer is dependent on maintaining Premier League status.
