Reports in the English media has suggested Everton boss Ronald Koeman wants to sign Fulham goalkeeper Maarten Stekelenburg.

There are similar reports in Dutch newspaper De Telegraaf, but they’ve gone one step further and claim Stekelenburg is ‘almost certainly the first reinforcement for Koeman at Everton’.

The Liverpool Echo reckon Stekelenburg would be a back-up option for Koeman next season, whilst De Telegraaf believe Stekelenburg could replace Tim Howard, and naturally expect a more important role.

The Netherlands international spent the last season on loan at Southampton, and was heavily involved for the Saints after an injury to Fraser Forster.

It is reported Everton could complete a deal for the 33-year-old for a nominal fee, as he has just another year left on his contract at Fulham.

Koeman and Stekelenburg first worked together at Ajax, and a reunion seems to be very likely.
