Having lost their first two Premier League games, Everton know they face another relegation battle.
Tarkowski told reporters: “I think I’ve been involved in many transfers windows when there is a speculation.
“I think at times, people move on and people stay. I hope that all our players stay here, and we bring a few more faces in, so we’ve got a strong squad and competition.
“But yes, that’s out of our control. We had a strong team out there (at Tottenham) and as I say, we’ve got a few more faces back. We’ve got real competition for places and hopefully performances improve.”
