Everton manager Ronald Koeman reportedly wants to bring in three more players, which could take his spending up to £200m.

Everton manager Ronald Koeman reportedly wants to bring in three more players before the transfer window shuts at the end of this month.

The Merseyside outfit have already spent more than £100m recruiting seven new faces, including Jordan Pickford, Davy Klaassen, Michael Keane, Henry Onyekuru, Cuco Martina, Sandro Ramirez and Wayne Rooney.

Everton have been helped along financially with the sale of Romelu Lukaku to Manchester United for £75m, while the Toffees are believed to be holding out for a £50m fee for midfielder Ross Barkley.

According to The Mirror, Koeman wants to bring in a new striker and defender, while Swansea City star Gylfi Sigurdsson is still on his radar after having two bids rejected.

Arsenal forward Olivier Giroud has been linked to the Toffees, while West Ham centre-back James Collins is also a reported target.

If Koeman gets the players that he wants, the club could end up spending around £200m in the transfer market.
