Six players set to leave Everton if they are relegated from the Premier League?

Everton are reportedly in danger of losing up to six of their first-team starters in the summer should they be relegated from the Premier League.

Everton could reportedly lose as many as six first-team players should they suffer relegation from the Premier League this season.

Everton find themselves 17th ahead of this weekend's Premier League action, and a tricky run-in leaves them still in big danger, despite a 5-1 win at Brighton & Hove Albion on Monday.

The Daily Mail claims that Jordan Pickford is one of the main players who will attract interest from other Premier League clubs, with Manchester United said to be keen on the England international in their hunt for a new goalkeeper.

Dominic Calvert-Lewin's persistent injury issues have seen many clubs cool their interest in the Everton striker, but a potential relegation for the Toffees could see him leave for a cut price.

Everton's midfield could also suffer from a summer exodus should they go down to the Championship, as their current man in form, Dwight McNeil, could join Amadou Onana, Alex Iwobi and Abdoulaye Doucoure out the door.

Onana has reportedly been attracting interest from Man United manager Erik ten Hag, after also being linked with a move to Arsenal during the January transfer window.

Doucoure is out of contract at the end of the season, and even though Everton have the option to extend it for another season, the Malian midfielder could leave in similar circumstances to how he left Watford for Everton following the Hornets' relegation in 2020.
