Everton chief executive Robert Elstone has hinted that the club must remain ambitious and complete big signings this summer in order to progress. Michael Owen has been mooted as a potential signing for the Toffees.

"There is an awful lot of work going on.We are talking to a number of players and a number of clubs," he said.

"The chairman is in constant dialogue with the manager and where I need to get involved, I am doing that.

"We absolutely recognise the need to strengthen - we are fiercely ambitious and if that is the case then you need to go one step further than fifth place and one step further than appearing in an FA Cup final.

"To do that we know we need to bring talent in and we are not sitting on our hands in any way.

"We are determined to strengthen the squad and take to the field in 2009/10 with a better squad than 2008/09 and that is the core strategy of the football Club."
