Everton have had bids rejected for Swansea City midfielder Gylfi Sigurdsson.
Everton have made Sigurdsson one of their top targets this summer, but a deal has been hard to agree with Swansea.
The Welsh side have stated their asking price is £50 million for the attacking midfielder, and refused to budge so far.
Everton have tested the water with two bids, but both have been batted away quickly by Swansea.
Koeman is now hoping that the transfer saga does not drag on, as he wants his squad settled before the Premier League season starts.
Everton have been very efficient in their transfer business to date, with a number of new faces arriving.

Sigurdsson would add further threat to Everton’s already intimidating forward line.
The Icelandic international scored nine goals and claimed 13 assists for Swansea last term.
