Ronald Koeman may look to sign players from his former clubs.

Ronald Koeman will be looking to bolster his squad in the summer transfer window. Everton require a good attacking midfielder, a central midfielder, a central defender and a striker.

The Dutchman will be backed by the Everton board to sign players of his choice, and he could look to some of his old clubs to bring in new faces.

Davy Klaassen (Ajax)

The Dutch attacking midfielder could leave Ajax this summer, but Everton will have to pay in the region of £21 million (Daily Mail) for his services.

The 24-year-old has been the subject of interest for several Premier League clubs, with Tottenham Hotspur being one of them.

Klassen has scored 20 goals for Ajax in all competitions this season and could be a great addition to the squad if Ross Barkley leaves Goodison Park.

Dusan Tadic (Southampton)

Tadic was Koeman’s first signing when he joined the south coast club in 2014. He was a key player under him, and established himself as a dangerous threat in the final third.

He scored 11 goals and provided 19 assists in the two years under Koeman. The 28-year-old has done well this season as well, but has not been able to match the form of his previous years.

With Ross Barkley’s future up in the air, and Aaron Lennon requiring more time off the pitch, the Toffees could add a few attacking options next season, especially as they have European football to look forward to. Tadic would be a smart signing for them.

Tonny Vilhena – Feyenoord

The #10 is a terrific young talent who has the potential to reach top class level.

At 22, he has already played over 170 matches for the Dutch side. The best thing about him is his boisterous energy. He likes to control the midfield, but is very tidy in possession.

Furthermore, he puts in a lot of defensive shifts – with an average of 2.6 tackles per game, according to whoscored.com. He would be a great addition to the Everton squad.
