Football Insider Verdict

Everton lost a number of players at the end of last season due to their contracts expiring and Moyes had a job on his hands during the summer to replace them.

Garner is one of the most exciting talents at the club, and on current form interest in former Manchester United academy product would be high come January, whilst Pickford has established himself as the England number one and a fine Premier League goalkeeper.

Keeping the best talent may also ensure stars like Jack Grealish look at staying at Everton beyond their loan spell.

The future of Everton looks bright if Moyes is able to tie down the key players to new contracts.
