Everton could reportedly be prepared to offload midfielder James McCarthy during the summer in order to offset a planned spending spree.

The 26-year-old has been a fan favourite at Goodison Park and recently received Ronald Koeman's backing, although that has not quelled rumours of a departure to either Newcastle United, West Ham United or Crystal Palace.

According to the Daily Mail, quoting club sources, McCarthy could be sold for £20m - despite Koeman holding the midfielder in his future plans - in a bid to help support a string of summer moves that might see the Toffees go after Swansea City's Gylfi Sigurdsson.

Alongside McCarthy, it is also being reported that Ross Barkley's future at the club could be coming close to an end as contract talks between the two parties continue.

Everton travel to Arsenal in their final league game on Sunday having already clinched a seventh-place finish.
