 Everton enjoyed a relatively successful summer, spending in excess of £140million on Michael Keane, Jordan Pickford, Davy Klaassen, Henry Onyekuru, Sandro Ramirez and record signing Gylfi Sigurdsson. While Wayne Rooney and Cuco Martina both arrived at Goodison Park on free transfers. But throughout the window Koeman stressed the importance of brining in a new striker following the £75m sale of Lukaku to Manchester United. Koeman was initially confident of signing one of their two top striker targets on deadline day, but Everton failed to bring any one in. "Overall I am happy," Koeman said when asked about deadline day. ”Of course we did not 100 per cent do the business because everybody knew we tried to find a striker to bring in and that striker was really our priority. "But I think we were a little bit unlucky with our option one and our option two. I thought we would get one of the two in but finally we did not. "Then it is always a problem if you go for your option three or option four or option five. “At that time the players were not available to make this team stronger. "The amount of money over the last transfer window that everybody is asking for players is also a reason not to do the business." |
