Everton manager Ronald Koeman has urged summer signings Davy Klaassen and Sandro Ramirez to have patience as they adapt to English football. Midfielder Klaassen joined from Ajax for £25 million in the summer but has struggled so far, while attacker Sandro has also had a difficult time since joining from Malaga for £5.2 million. However, Koeman believes that both players can eventually thrive for Everton. As reported by the Daily Mail, Koeman said: “He needs time. “He is okay. He is intelligent on the ball. He can improve in fitness and he can improve physically in battles in the midfield. “That is what he needs to learn and improve but that is normal. The Dutch league is not the Premier League and the boy gets time for that. It is all about the player himself. It is the same question for other young players. “It is for players like Sandro Ramirez to keep quiet and keep patience. He will come good because I don’t have any doubts as to the quality of the player.” Klaassen has been unable to command a regular starting berth for Everton in the Premier League but he has often retained possession well on the occasions that he has featured, succeeding with 78 per cent of the passes that he has attempted. However, the Dutchman has so far created just one chance for his team-mates. Meanwhile, Sandro has failed to score in his four Premier League appearances for the Toffees and has also struggled physically, winning just 20 per cent of the aerial duels that he has hontested. The 22-year-old is still developing, however, and produced some excellent performances up front for Malaga last season. Source : Squawka.com
