Everton manager Sam Allardyce has revealed that he has been keeping a close eye on the Sevilla players as he begins planning for the summer transfer window, according to a report on Sportslens.
Allardyce was present at Old Trafford to witness the Spanish La Liga side shock the Red Devils in the UEFA Champions League round of 16.
His presence at the match sparked claims that he was watching certain Sevilla players and these reports have been confirmed by the ex-England manager.
When Allardyce was quizzed about his presence at Old Trafford, he said:
I went to watch a couple of players from Sevilla.
Everton have previously been heavily linked with a move for French midfielder Steven N’Zonzi and he is predicted to be one of the players that Allardyce was keeping tabs on.
The actual names of the players that the Toffees boss went to monitor are not known but Wissam Ben Yedder is also thought to be one of the players of interest to Allardyce.
The substitute found the back of the net twice to send Sevilla to the quarter-final of the Champions League and with Everton in desperate need of a marksman up front, he could be the prefect candidate.
The fact that Allardyce is already planning on how to improve his squad is a good sign for the club, who are currently in 9th place in the Premier League.
