Everton has an enormous squad which needs to be shortened before the end of the transfer window.

Everton has a squad of 32 players in total. That is almost equal to three different starting lineups. With such a massive squad, man-management becomes an extremely arduous task with every player pushing to make the cut for the matchday. The Matchday squads are of only 18 so eventually, players will miss out and feel frustrated after some time if their exclusion is repetitive.

Everton will have to offload players before the end of this transfer window to lighten the burden on the wage budget as well. It makes no sense to have players who are not featuring in the team and yet pocketing decent amount of wages per week.

Carlo Ancelotti has already pressed that he wants a squad of no more than 25 players and is hopeful that some sort of solution will be reached before the end of the transfer window on October 5.

"The size of the squad has to be at least, including goalkeepers, 23-25. Not more. In this moment we have more players than 25 but I think we can find a solution until the end of the market. (via Liverpool Echo)"

There are a bunch of players who will most likely never feature under Ancelotti again, however, moving all of these players is simply not possible as there aren’t any takers for them even if Everton are ready to sell them as cheap as chips.

Let’s take a look at 5 players who Everton can realistically offload:
