Everton are reportedly expecting to make another three signings before the transfer window shuts.
England’s Joe Hart
According to The Telegraph, Everton expect to make three signings in the next nine days – and Joe Hart is considering their offer to join them.
The Toffees picked up their first Premier League win of the season on Saturday by beating West Bromwich Albion, and manager Ronald Koeman was able to show off all four of his summer signings.
Manchester City’s Joe Hart warms up
Goalkeeper Maarten Stekelenburg and midfielder Idrissa Gueye started at The Hawthorns, whilst Koeman was able to call upon defender Ashley Williams and winger Yannick Bolasie as substitutes.
However, Everton may well have more additions lined up, as The Telegraph report that the Toffees expect to sign three more new players in the next nine days, with the transfer deadline coming up at the end of the month.
Everton manager Ronald Koeman
The report states that Everton have now made an offer for Manchester City goalkeeper Joe Hart, and the player is now considering a move to Goodison Park with his City career all but over.
Hart, 29, has been frozen out by new manager Pep Guardiola, and will be down to third choice behind Willy Caballero and imminent signing Claudio Bravo, who will arrive from Barcelona.
The England international would surely become Everton’s first-choice stopper ahead of Stekelenburg, who only served as backup under Koeman at Southampton last season.
Whilst that’s one of the three signings being targeted, it’s unclear who else Koeman wants to add, but with Farhad Moshiri’s millions at his disposal, Everton should be able to splash the cash.
Another defender and another attacker – possibly a wide player or a centre forward – would be smart additions for Everton, who have already showed signs of improvement under Koeman.
