Put simply, Purdy's exit was not part of the plan.

    Everton's head of recruitment Dan Purdy is set to become the latest high-profile figure to leave the club. Purdy had initially been earmarked for the new role of head of player identification as part of a revamped recruitment structure put together by incoming CEO Angus Kinnear.

It is now anticipated that Purdy will join outgoing director of football Kevin Thelwell in leaving the Merseyside club in the coming weeks.
