The coming summer transfer window, whenever that will be, is going to be an important one for Everton.

Carlo Ancelotti is now at the helm at Goodison Park and this will be the Italian's first chance to make his stamp on the squad at his disposal.

A number of incoming players will be crucial to the Blues' prospects next term, as it is clear an injection of quality in key areas is ultimately necessary.

But what of the players currently at the club?

There are big decisions to be made over the futures of every Everton player, and we've gone through the whole squad with our predictions of what could be on the cards.

Players currently out on loan have been left off this list as we'll talk about them another time.

Jordan Pickford - Keep

He's not had the best of campaigns, granted, and there is certainly a mistake in the England international.

But there's no question he is still a top quality goalkeeper on his day, and Pickford is someone who has saved Everton on more than one occasion even this term.

Perhaps his best form could be achieved with some added competition alongside him in the summer? That's for others to decide.

Maarten Stekelenburg - Release

The former Dutch international has been a solid servant for Everton during his four years with the club, since joining in the summer of 2016.

But, his last appearance for the Blues came in last term's League Cup defeat to Southampton in October 2018.

With his current contract up in the summer, it might be time for the understudy to move on.

Seamus Coleman - Keep

Everton's right-back situation is far from clear even at this stage of the season.

Jonjoe Kenny is impressing while temporarily in Germany, the Blues have their own loanee as well who we will discuss shortly.

But Coleman's experience could be key. The club captain has proven himself an important player on occasion and does bring leadership to the side.

Djibril Sidibe - Don't sign

Now we come to that loanee.

At an earlier stage of the campaign, it might have seemed like a sure thing to sign Sidibe on a permanent basis from Monaco after a string of impressive performances.

However, inconsistencies have dominated the 27-year-old's time at Goodison Park so far. Is he the man to lead Everton on a charge the table under Carlo Ancelotti?

Cuco Martina - Release

Another player coming to the end of his Everton contract this summer, it's hard to see a scenario in which Martina is kept beyond the current campaign.

The Curacao international doesn't even enter the conversation over the right-back situation and hasn't played a match for the club since March 2018.

His three-year spell on Merseyside will come to an end.

Michael Keane - Keep

One of Everton's most impressive players last term, this season has been a little more tricky for Keane.

The centre-back has seen his time on the pitch take a bit of a dip thanks to the form of Mason Holgate, but he has looked solid in recent appearances.

The 27-year-old is still a great option in the middle of defence and should be kept - although that doesn't mean the Blues shouldn't look to improve that area.

Yerry Mina - Keep

We all know how much the Colombia international struggled with injury last term, but the way he has put that behind him this time around has been remarkable.

The defender established himself as Everton's first choice in the early months of the season despite having his doubters over the course of the summer.

There's little question he should be kept on to hone his talents further.

Mason Holgate - Keep

What a season the youngster has had.

It has taken the 23-year-old just a few months to go from the third choice of three to arguably being one of the first names on Ancelotti's team sheet now.

It's been a brilliant rise for Holgate, who has just signed a new contract with Everton. Long may his good form continue.

Leighton Baines - Keep

Towards the end of last season it wasn't set in stone that Baines would stay with the Blues for another year, but thank goodness he did.

Whenever the veteran has been required to step up in place of Lucas Digne, he's done so with the same professionalism and desire we've known from him for years.

He is still a fantastic player to have around the club and certainly good enough to be back up for Everton's starting Frenchman.

Lucas Digne - Keep

Everton's starting left-back might not have been at the same level as scintillating form as last season, but he's still proven himself a hugely important member of the squad.

The France international is the club's top assist maker this term and is crucial to his side's attacking output.

His value has increased massively since signing from Barcelona in 2018, and he's someone Everton will surely be desperate to keep hold of.

Morgan Schneiderlin - Sell

It's been yet another season full of ups and downs for Schneiderlin.

Variations in form have been a key factor of his time at Everton and those inconsistencies have been prevalent once again this term.

The Frenchman was in good form before picking up an injury, but with the Blues looking for energy in central midfield and with his future being uncertain for a while, the 30-year-old seems like someone the club could potentially cash in on.

Jean-Philippe Gbamin - Keep

This is not how the season was meant to go.

135 minutes of football was all Evertonians saw of their replacement for Idrissa Gueye before he picked up an injury in training - the complications of which ruled him out up until the campaign was suspended.

Fingers crossed he will be on the pitch soon and showing Blues fans exactly what he's all about.

Fabian Delph - Keep

Unfortunately the campaign hasn't gone the way the former Man City man might have wanted.

Injuries and inconsistencies have stopped Delph putting together a strong run of games, while there was also a controversial incident involving a supporter on social media earlier this year.

He brings experience to the midfield though, and if he can rediscover his best form he is still a useful asset.

Tom Davies - Keep

Everton fans are desperate for Davies to do well, why wouldn't they be?

The midfielder could be the scouse heartbeat in the Blues side if he can find his best form again, but that has admittedly been lacking on too many occasions this term.

He is still young and there are still a lot of qualities in him though, which is the main thing to remember here.

Andre Gomes - Keep

There's no question over this one, is there?

Gomes has been through a tough time this season, but the way he came back from his injury was nothing short of extraordinary.

He has the technical quality to be a truly vital player to the Everton squad and there's no doubt at all that he needs to stay at Goodison for years to come.

Gylfi Sigurdsson - Sell

This has been a particularly difficult campaign for Sigurdsson, going from the club's joint top scorer to being a player floating around the midfield.

In Ancelotti's new system, the Iceland international's position in the squad has essentially been swallowed up - and he's hunting for a new purpose.

If he can't find that, and if the right offer were to come in, then it's hard to see the Blues wanted to turn that down.

Alex Iwobi - Keep

Another player who has had to deal with injury this season, it still feels like Evertonians haven't seen the best from Iwobi.

He seems to hit top form playing in an attacking midfield role, but seemingly will find more joy out wide under his new manager in a 4-4-2.

The Nigeria international was playing his way back into contention before the suspension, and looks like he has the important tools to break down defences.

Theo Walcott - Keep

The last few weeks have seen Theo Walcott in one of his spells of good form, represented by his goal at Watford and a fantastic assist for Bernard against Crystal Palace.

Inconsistency is still there, of course.

But Everton are short in the right midfield position, and the large wages of Walcott would make it tricky to move the winger on regardless. He can still be very useful to the Blues if used in the right capacity.

Bernard - Keep

At his peak, the winger's trickery and quality in possession are the keys to breaking down even the toughest defences.

However, away from home in particular, the Brazilian has struggled to produce that on a consistent basis - leading to a few appearances from the bench.

He's still clearly an important player for the club though, and someone the Blues need to keep hold of.

Richarlison - Keep

(Image: PA)

One of the easiest decisions on the list.

Richarlison is still young, finding his feet as a striker, still is improving in almost every aspect of his game and is one of the most important members of the squad.

Having just signed a new contract a few months ago, he'll be staying at Goodison.

Dominic Calvert-Lewin - Keep

What a season it's been for the striker.

He had his doubters at the beginning of the term, but his rise has been fantastic - leaving him as Everton's top scorer so far after a string of promising displays.

This could hopefully be the catalyst for even more in the future and, after being the latest to put pen-to-paper on a new deal, the Blues will find out.

Cenk Tosun - Sell

Everton were open to selling the striker in January if the right offer came in, and it's unlikely that position will have changed.

Crystal Palace had the option to buy Tosun at the end of his loan move, before that was unfortunately ended early due to a serious injury.

If the Turkey international does recover in time, then his future at Goodison could still be in question.

Oumar Niasse - Release

Niasse's story at Everton has been truly intriguing - from outcast, to cult hero, to bench-warmer once again.

The striker is coming to the end of his current contract at the end of the season and there no chance of an extension being in the pipeline.

Moise Kean - Keep

The youngster still hasn't shown Evertonians what he's truly capable of yet.

It's clear the 20-year-old needs time to develop in the Premier League and the love Blues supporters have already shown the Italian is as good a representation as any that they are willing to give him that chance.

Fingers crossed we'll be seeing a lot more of Kean in the future.
