Everton enjoyed a pretty productive summer transfer window.
Despite operating on limited finances, Everton actually enjoyed a decent window, adding seven new additions to Sean Dyche’s squad.
Jake O’Brien was their most expensive buy as they forked out around £17m on his signature from Ligue 1 outfit Lyon.
But, Iliman Ndiaye has been the most successful signing so far having already netted three goals for the club, operating as a playmaker.
Ndiaye has admitted he wants to become the best player in the world, which amplifies his drive and ambition – two traits that are needed to become a top-level footballer.
The Toffees also brought in Jesper Lindstrom on loan from Napoli and he has shown glimpses of his quality.
Lindstrom, in a recent interview, has just revealed what he needs to do to stay at Everton on a permanent deal.

Jesper Lindstrom says he has to show he’s good enough for Everton to sign him permanently
Jesper Lindstrom sat down with the Liverpool Echo following the 1-0 defeat to Southampton at the weekend.
The Everton loanee discussed his future at Goodison Park and revealed that he must show Dyche that he’s good enough if he is to sign on a permanent deal.
“Of course I am rebuilding after Napoli, 100%. More minutes will give me more confidence to believe in myself,” the 24-year-old said.
“I started against Southampton in the cup, Leicester, Crystal Palace and today. I had more starts now than the whole year in Napoli.
“Of course I am happier, I want to play football, it’s my job. The more time I get, the calmer I get in situations and the thing I have missed is the last pass, the last shot, it is what coming now.
“I’m here for the season, then we will see what happens. I have to show that I am good enough to stay.”

Everton have £18m option to buy on Lindstrom
According to the Daily Mail, Everton have an £18m option to buy on Lindstrom, though, he needs to show more for that to be activated.
The 16-cap Denmark international is yet to get off the mark but appears to be forcing his way into Dyche’s plans, as he started against The Saints on the weekend.
Lindstrom’s quality from set-pieces is evident, so it might only be a matter of time before he scores one in an Everton shirt.
