Everton stall in quest for £50m playmaker
The Toffees have been linked to the Icelandic star for weeks, but have not matched Swansea’s £50 million pricetag, with the latest reports indicating that the Liverpudlian side won’t offer more than £45m.
Coach Ronald Koeman seemed to be prodding Everton a few days ago, saying that
"Everybody knows we are looking for three more players - a left centre-back, a left full-back, a player who can play out of both positions, a winger and a striker and that's the picture, what the best is for our team and we will see what we can do," he told Sky Sports News, "we are close [on Sigurdsson], we have to wait. But still, the deal is not done."
The 27-year-old made 13 assists in EPL action last season, and skipped part of the pre-season tour because he was expected to be sold.
