Everton manager Carlo Ancelotti is confident he will get the necessary backing from the club to adequately strengthen this summer.
A run of no wins in four matches has highlighted the significant deficiencies in the squad, while injuries to centre-backs Mason Holgate and Yerry Mina could see 18-year-old Jarrad Branthwaite receive his full Premier League debut after just two substitute appearances.
Ancelotti has already been linked with a move for Southampton midfielder Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg but knows he needs other reinforcements and is confident of receiving the backing to get them.
'I have an opinion about the squad, it doesn't matter that we are not in Europe, it doesn't matter we didn't play well in this period in the last two or three games,' he said.
