Everton will have to wait to finalise the futures of Ben Godfrey, Dominic Calvert-Lewin and other first-team stars.

The Premier League giants were hoping they could secure the likes of Calvert-Lewin, Godfrey, and Jarrod Branthwaite to new deals.

However, the club are now in danger of losing top talent in the summer, per The Mail.

Uncertainty about when and if 777 Partners will be allowed to take over the club is causing this problem.

Everton have seven first team players out of contract in the summer, which is a headache for manager Dyche.

While the immediate aim is to avoid relegation, Everton also want to plan for the future.
