Three ways Everton can fit Sigurdsson into starting XI as Koeman transfer revolution takes shape

3-4-2-1: One third of deadly attack

In a similar formation to the style Mauricio Pochettino found plenty of success with at Tottenham, Koeman could look to use wing-backs to supply the Toffees’ width.

In what is a narrow two playmakers behind the striker, Sigurdsson would team up with fellow new signing Klaassen in an attempt to give England international Rooney the ammunition to fire Everton towards the top six.

In what would be one of the deadliest front threes in the Premier League, Sigurdsson would be more involved in the play and contribute on a larger scale than out wide.
