Pre-season in full flow for Everton
- Published
It is a beautiful setting just outside Dublin for Everton's pre-season camp in Ireland this week.
It is just a shame the weather is more mid-November than mid-July.
But the Toffees' players will be glad of the overcast conditions as they are put through their paces with double training sessions this week.
On Friday, they travel across the country to face Sligo Rovers in their first pre-season friendly of the summer, with captain Seamus Coleman going back to his hometown club for the first time.
New signings Iliman Ndiaye and Tim Ireogbunam are here, as is the returning Jack Harrison - and free agent Dele Alli has also travelled with the squad as he aims to secure another contract with the club.
I'm hoping to speak to some of the players while here over the next few days - starting with veteran full-back Ashley Young later on Tuesday - so do check back in for regular updates.
