Five early summer transfer targets for Everton
By Roy Emanuel
Gylfi Sigurdsson – Swansea City
Proven talent in the Premier League is not always be easy to find, and that fact can be true for any club. With this thought in mind, Everton’s reported pursuit of Swansea City midfielder Gylfi Sigurdsson is an understandable and potentially excellent transfer.
The Icelandic international has displayed immense skill during his time in the English top flight, scoring 41 Premier League goals between his time with Tottenham and Swansea. An attacking midfielder in the purest sense, Sigurdsson’s abilities from free-kick situations make him a constant danger to opposing defences.
A part of the Iceland team that shocked the world with their incredible performance at Euro 2016, Sigurdsson showcases a magnificent determination on the pitch and has the attributes that helps to make team-mates around him even better.

Ronald Koeman adding the 27-year-old to his Everton line-up could see benefits throughout the midfield. With Morgan Schneiderlin and Idrissa Gueye able to operate effectively in the holding positions in front of the back-line, Sigurdsson could produce a lethal attack alongside Ross Barkley.
Thanks to a forward of Romelu Lukaku’s quality, Koeman may be able to count on several goals in each and every match.
With an eye on becoming regular entrants in the UEFA Champions League, the summer signing of Gylfi Sigurdsson would greatly improve Everton’s midfield.
