Former Everton star, Nikica Jelavić, believes the Toffees can become a feared force in the Premier League if they get their transfer dealings right.
Jelavić, who played for Everton from 2012 to 2016, has been speaking about the club’s transfer strategy and how it can shape their future.
Key moments
Jelavić pointed out that Liverpool and Tottenham have been successful in the transfer market, citing the signings of Virgil van Dijk and Heung-Min Son as examples of how to strengthen a team.
He noted that Everton need to be more proactive in the transfer market, rather than just reacting to other teams’ moves.
Reaction
Jelavić’s comments come after the transfer of Heung-Min Son to Tottenham was confirmed, and the South Korean striker is expected to be a key player for the North London club.
Jelavić believes that Everton need to be more ruthless in their transfer dealings, and not be afraid to sell players who are not good enough for the team.
Up next
Everton face Feyenoord in the Europa League on Thursday, and Jelavić will be watching closely to see how the Toffees perform in their first European match of the season.
