Everton boss Koeman talks Memphis, Belfodil deals...

Everton boss Ronald Koeman is eager to continue their signing spree after landing Manchester United midfielder Morgan Schneiderlin.

Koeman has expressed interest in United's Memphis Depay - although Lyon have emerged as a leading candidate for the winger's signature - and it has been reported Everton have agreed a fee with Belgian side Standard Liege for their forward Ishak Belfodil.

With Depay and Belfodil's names being put to him, Koeman said: "We are still working to improve the team and if we can make a deal for one or two more players, then we will.

"But we saw the situation of Morgan - we had interest in the player for a long time, but it's not easy to do a deal and sometimes it needs more time than expected. We know we have until the end of January."
