Everton must snap up these 2 La Liga stars in January

Steven N’Zonzi

With Gareth Barry turning 36 in February, James McCarthy’s future at Goodison Park uncertain, and Darron Gibson’s injury concerns, Koeman may feel that he needs more strength in the midfield.

Thus, former Stoke man Steven N’Zonzi should be on his radar.

The Sevilla midfielder has been excellent since his move to Spain last year, and helped the club win a third consecutive Europa League title in May.

Football fans in England will know what N’Zonzi is about after his successful spells at Stoke and Blackburn, and it’s clear that he’d make a big difference to the Everton midfield, such is his strength, agility, and composure.

The Toffees were linked with a move for N’Zonzi back in October and, with increasing interest from several Premier League sides in the last few weeks, this would be one hell of a scalp for Koeman and his team if they can get a deal done for the former French Under-21 international.
