Everton have seen another bid rejected for Swansea City midfielder Gylfi Sigurdsson.

Some Everton fans appear to be hoping that Ronald Koeman gives up on Swansea City midfielder Gylfi Sigurdsson and goes for Bayern Munich’s Renato Sanches instead.

Everton have been targeting Sigurdsson for much of the transfer window so far, but have failed to do a deal for the Icelandic international.

And last night it was suggested by the Guardian that the Toffees had a £45 million bid turned down by Swansea for Sigurdsson.

Swansea have put a £50 million asking price on the attacking midfielder, and are refusing to budge.

While there is a recognition from Everton fans that Sigurdsson would improve their squad, there is a feeling that they are over-paying for the 28-year-old.

And some Everton fans have encouraged Koeman to move for Sanches of Bayern Munich instead.

Sanches is not a like-for-like replacement for Sigurdsson, but he is very highly regarded.

The Portuguese midfielder has struggled to break into Bayern’s team, but remains one of the finest, young talents in Europe.
