Ronald Koeman reportedly wants £100 million to spend on his Everton squad in the summer.

According to a report in the Daily Mirror, Everton boss Ronald Koeman wants £100 million to spend this summer.

In this article we take a look a three players he should bring to Goodison Park, if he is granted the funds.

Timo Werner

SC Freiburg v RB Leipzig - German Bundesliga

The Red Bull Leipzig striker has been one of the stand out scorers in the Bundesliga this season, with 14 goals to his name.

Werner has caught the eye with his electric pace, and he would fit in well with Koeman’s plans at Everton.

The Toffees have tended to buy promising youngsters since Koeman took charge, and there are few more exciting talents than Werner in European football.

The 21-year-old looks to have the capabilities to become a star of the future, and his arrival at Everton would be a real statement of intent.

Kalidou Koulibaly

Everton tried to sign the powerful centre-back from Napoli, but they failed in their attempts.

Farhad Moshiri claims that Napoli were asking for a huge amount of money to sign Koulibaly.

However, if Everton are to break into the top four, they may have to give in to the Serie A club’s demands, as Koulibaly’s arrival would undoubtedly improve the quality of their defence.

Riyad Mahrez

Leicester City's Riyad Mahrez

Mahrez has endured a difficult season at Leicester this time around, but he proved just how dangerous he is when the Foxes won the title.

A change of scenery may be all Mahrez needs to get back to his best, and Leicester may be more willing to do business for the Algerian international this summer than they were at the end of last season.

Persuading Mahrez to join would not be an easy task for Everton, but if they were able to it would be a stand out addition for the Merseyside club.
