Koeman lines up England striker as first Everton signing

Ronald Koeman is looking to make West Brom striker Saido Berahino one of his first signings as Everton manager, according to The Daily Mirror.

Everton announced Koeman as their new manager on Tuesday and the former Southampton manager is already keen to get to work in the transfer market.

Watford, Leicester and Crystal Palace are all interested in signing Berahino despite enduring a poor season last term, with Everton also in the race to sign the 22-year-old.

Berahino only scored four goals in 31 league appearances last season and was West Brom’s lowest rated player from those to have started more than five league games (6.33).
