Everton are targeting more signings, Ronald Koeman has revealed.
Gylfi Sigurdsson will soon become the latest eight-figure arrival at Goodison Park this summer as he prepares to secure a switch from Swansea City.
But the Blues’ business will not stop at the Icelandic midfielder despite spending set to surpass the £140m barrier in an unprecedented transfer window.
Koeman has already added Jordan Pickford, Davy Klaassen, Michael Keane, Sandro Ramirez and Wayne Rooney to his ranks ahead of the new season.
And the Everton manager is setting his sights on further reinforcements before his side face their first Europa League qualifier in a fortnight’s time.
He said: “We are close to having the right squad.
“We did really good business, brought really good players who will make the team stronger and give the team competition.
“We are expecting maybe one or two players more to come in.
“It’s really important to already have the players in (when the season starts) because they need the adaptation, to learn how we like to play.
“And of course we know that we need to be ready in two weeks for the start of the Europa League qualifying.
“It’s good that most of the new signings are playing now for Everton, and it’s credit to the board of Everton that they did really good business, which is what the team needs.”
Everton will learn the fate of their Europa League opponents in Friday’s draw.
Aiden McGeady, meanwhile, has sealed his Goodison exit by joining Sunderland for an undisclosed fee.
