Everton fans in the Football Transfer Tavern are eager to see the squad that Ronald Koeman will have built for the first game of the Premier League season, and have spent the last few hours scribbling a team on the back of a few beer mats.
Now, according to Click Liverpool, within 24 hours they will know who the first arrival of the Koeman era will be, as it is expected to be Fulham goalkeeper Maarten Stekelenburg.
After working with the shot stopper last season at Southampton, he is desperate to bring his fellow countryman to Goodison Park as it is believed the Dutchman is available for around £1 million.
Punters in the Tavern are convinced that he will not be brought in as the new number one goalkeeper, following the departure of Tim Howard, but he is a reliable second option.
He will provide competition for Joel Robles, who is currently the only keeper at Everton and Everton fans in the bar are hoping the former Saints manager will pursue another first team keeper.
Everton fans. Who would you like to be your next number one? Let us know your thoughts below…
