Whilst Ronald Koeman’s Everton navigate the notoriously busy festive period, the January transfer woindow is now open!

The 2-0 win over defending champions Leicester City may have reassured Toffees’ fans a little, but there is no denying that the side have been too inconsistent this term – take Friday’s 2-2 draw against Hull City for example.

There have been matches where the Koeman philosophy has been clear to see, but the Dutch manager still needs a few more signings to be able to finish crafting his Everton team.

Luckily, Farhad Moshiri seems willing to spend with rumours of a £50m war chest heading Koeman’s way.

However, what are the current rumours and which signings should be prioritised?

The Toffees are still short of numbers up front and new starlet Yannick Bolasie is out for the rest of the season injured.

Shoot!‘s Toby Bryant looks at potential arrivals who could provide the needed support for Everton…

Memphis Depay

One of the hottest rumours coming into January is the arrival of Memphis Depay at Everton.

The Dutch international never managed to get his Manchester United career up and running after his £25m move last summer.

Now, under Jose Mourinho, the winger has been frozen out of the side, playing a mere 24 minutes of league action this season.

There are some doubts as to whether Depay can cut it in the Premier League, he has failed at Old Trafford, so why would he be a success at Goodison?

However, working under a compatriot in Ronald Koeman could help the 22-year-old regain the form he showed at PSV Eindhoven.

United would be looking to make their money back when selling the winger, so he could come at a hefty price. But, with bags of potential, he may well be the number one replacement for Yannick Bolasie.

Saido Berahino

Quite how Saido Berahino is still at West Brom is a mystery.

The striker has had more fall outs with management than a family on Christmas Day. His contract is finally coming to an end, it expires in the summer, and boss Tony Pulis may be looking to sell before it is too late.

Everton have been linked with the youngster a number of times in the past and he would slot into the Toffees’ side perfectly.

He may be a lot smaller than Romelu Lukaku, and lack the target man presence, but he is still strong and quick with a fierce shot.

Not only would he be perfect back up, but could add another dynamic in the first-team if allowed to partner the big Belgian up top.

Demarai Gray

Having only arrived at Leicester City from Birmingham City in January, Ronald Koeman will have his work cut out in luring Demari Gray to Goodison Park.

However, the winger has only started two Premier League matches so far this term which is surprising given the way he has adapted to the top-flight.

Despite failing to get in the starting XI, the 20-year-old still has one goal and three assists to his name.

Claudio Ranieri may be being cautious with youth, but that is a questionable tactic given that the former Birmingham man looks ready to take the Premier League by storm.

With a gaping hole left by the injured Yannick Bolasie and a lack of creativity in the centre of the park, Koeman has nothing to lose in pursuing the hot, young talent.

Ashley Young

Yet another winger and another Manchester United player, Ashley Young is rumoured to be looking for a way out of Old Trafford this month.

He has only made four league appearances for the Red Devils this season and Jose Mourinho seems to deem him as deadwood in the squad.

Young is proven at Premier League level and his experience would, without doubt, help Everton with their faulty consistency. He also offers versatility.

The 31-year-old can play on either flank, as well as full-back.

Leighton Baines and Seamus Coleman have the full-back roles locked in but both have looked a little under-confident at points under Koeman, so having another first class option will come in handy.

Potentially available for a bargain, Young would provide the perfect utility option.

Gylfi Sigurdsson

Last month, Bob Bradley said he was confident of keeping Icelandic midfielder Gylfi Sigurdsson at Swansea.

However, he has now been fired and the Swans have continued their slump in form to sit rock-bottom in the Premier League table.

With yet another new manager needing to come in and increase their low morale, relegation looks inevitable.

Therefore, the club’s stars such as Sigurdsson may be looking for a way out in January.

The 27-year-old has everything that Everton need in the centre of the park. Ross Barkley has been poor this year, but Sigurdsson can perform well week in, week out.

His passing is second to none, he is a sharp shooter from set pieces and can run with the ball too.

Having him as an attacking midfielder could complete the Everton side. Koeman will have to be prepared to part with a lot of cash, the midfielder is by far Swansea’s key man, but given the Welsh side’s predicament, it could well come off.
