Everton have made five summer signings, with the total fees amounting to £74million. The signings include Hayden Hackney from Middlesbrough, Tyrique George from Chelsea, Merlin Rohl from Freiburg, Christian Norgaard from Arsenal, and Brennan Johnson in a swap deal with Crystal Palace. However, Williams believes that these signings will not be enough to improve the team's performance.
Williams specifically mentioned striker Liam Delap, who is currently being pursued by Nottingham Forest, and urged Everton to put in a bid for the player. He also suggested that Everton should sign Jack Grealish, who spent last season on loan at the club and is in the final year of his Manchester City contract. Williams' comments come ahead of Everton's campaign, which begins with a clash against Crystal Palace on Saturday at Hill Dickinson Stadium.
