Everton Transfer Roundup: Koeman close to signing Cuco Martina

In other news, Koeman is closing in on a move for the Southampton defender Cuco Martina.

The former Twente defender is out of contract this summer and Koeman wants to sign his former player on a free transfer. The Dutch manager was the one who brought Martina to St Mary’s in 2015.

The 27-year-old can play as a right-back, a centre-back and a defensive midfielder. His versatility could be useful for the Toffees next season. However, he is in no way an upgrade on Coleman. The Southampton defender is very clumsy on the ball and is simply not good enough to start for a side with European aspirations.
