According to a recent report from the Mirror, Everton manager Ronald Koeman has been given the green light to move for Ajax midfielder Davy Klaassen and Malaga forward Sandro Ramirez, and when you consider the pair will cost just £25million, it could go down as some of the best business in Toffees history.

Goal-scorers almost invariably cost a lot of money, but Everton could bring in two players who have scored 35 between them this season for the kind of price that, in this day and age, often gets you an average midfielder at best.

Klaassen has scored 19 goals and provided 12 assists for Ajax while former Barcelona youngster Sandro has netted 16 and set up four more for Malaga.

In total, the two men have directly contributed to 51 goals (either scoring or assisting) and with Klaassen priced at £20million and Sandro having a £5million release clause, it is no surprise Koeman is making his move.

Everton have been over reliant on Romelu Lukaku this season, and whatever the future holds for the Belgian international more goals are vital.

Klaassen and Sandro have them in abundance and they are also the perfect age, with the Dutchmen’s role as skipper of Ajax likely to add an extra level of leadership to Everton’s squad.

There are good deals and there are great deals, but if Everton get the duo for £25million it will be nothing short of outstanding business.
