Everton were one of the busiest clubs in the summer transfer window when Ronald Koeman was at the helm as they spent more than £100m on new arrivals.

This month, with Sam Allardyce now in charge, the Merseyside outfit moved swiftly again to tie down the signatures of Turkish striker Cenk Tosun from Besiktas and Arsenal star Theo Walcott.

Even though both new signings have received a warm welcome from the fans, there is one area of the pitch that the supporters desperately want addressed - left-back.

Leighton Baines is usually the man to fill the position, but at the age of 33, the Englishman is not getting any younger.

Recently, the Liverpudlian has been on the sidelines with injury, which has forced Allardyce to play Cuco Martina at left-back.

The former Southampton man has struggled to make an impression in the role given that he is predominantly right footed.

On Friday, Allardyce told reporters in a press conference that he is unlikely to bring any more new players to Goodison Park this month.

“No, I don't think so. We would be more in the terms of where we are at the moment, [be looking to move] players on. The squad is too big. There are 33 players here at the moment and from my point of view reducing those squads numbers is important for me."

As expected, fans were not best pleased by his comments.
