Everton chief executive Robert Elstone has revealed that the club is looking into the possibility of redeveloping Goodison Park after its plans for a new stadium were rejected.
A proposal for a £400m stadium in Kirkby was thrown out by the Government in November, and Everton says it is now considering all options.
"We've met with developers and land owners and we've commissioned a fresh look at Goodison Park with a highly recommended architect," said Elstone. "I hope we are able to report progress in the near future."
The club is also in discussions with local authorities about alternative sites for a new home and Elstone added: "There are many examples of council-led or partnered stadium developments in football over the course of the past decade.
"We hope, between us, we can create a scheme which, in the first instances, passes our basic test of 'affordability' and, ultimately, becomes a reality.
"Several sites have been identified. All are familiar to us and all had been assessed previously but this doesn't mean we'll come to the same conclusions as circumstances change.
"The economy, in all respects, changes from day to day and we have to refresh our conclusions and look for new opportunities."
