Everton transfer news: Toffees chasing back-up goalkeeper to Maarten Stekelenberg
RONALD KOEMAN is still trying to bring in a back-up keeper to Maarten Stekelenberg.
The Everton manager had scouts at half a dozen grounds around Europe last weekend, after opting not to move for Joe Hart.

Koeman sees fellow Dutchman Stekelenberg as his clear first choice stopper this season.

Robles didn’t even get a game in last week’s League Cup romp against Yeovil, and will not feature unless there are injuries.
Yet Koeman will only let the Spaniard leave if he does sign another keeper – and so far he has made little progress.
