Harry Redknapp backs Everton to push for the top four in the Premier League next season.
Former Tottenham Hotspur and West Ham United manager Harry Redknapp has predicted on Everton’s official website that the club will be challenging for a top-four finish in the Premier League next season.
Everton are seventh in the league table at the moment with 51 points from 31 matches and are unlikely to break into the top six this season.
The Toffees are an ambitious club, and under manager Ronald Koeman, the team have progressed this campaign.
Former Queens Park Rangers manager Redknapp believes that during the 2017-18 campaign, Everton will make a push for the Champions League places.
“Everton are pushing top six this year, although they’ve got a few points to make up, but certainly next year I can see them having a real run at the top four,” Redknapp told Everton’s official website.
“I’m sure they’ll strengthen again in the summer and, for me, they’ll join that top six and be another team in that mix as to who makes the top four.”
It is not going to be easy for Everton next season even if they make some good signings in the summer transfer window.
Chelsea, Tottenham Hotspur, Liverpool, Manchester City, Arsenal and Manchester United make up the top six at the moment, and it is going to be hard for the Toffees to challenge them.
The Merseyside outfit will return to action on Sunday afternoon when they take on Leicester City at Goodison Park in the Premier League.
