Everton have already confirmed multiple signings this summer, including Iliman Ndiaye, Jack Harrison, and Tim Iroegbunam, as well as extending contracts for Idrissa Gueye, Seamus Coleman, and Ashley Young.
Targeting low-cost deals, Everton see Sekou Koita as a valuable addition from the free agent market. According to reports, Everton are finalizing the contract details for the ex-RB Salzburg attacker.

Sekou Koita, a three-time Austrian champion, scored 43 goals and provided 21 assists in 106 games at the club, also winning the cup twice.
Although Everton have Dominic Calvert-Lewin, Beto, and Youssef Chermiti, the latter might go on loan, and Calvert-Lewin has been linked with a permanent move.
Sekou Koita, standing at five-foot-seven, brings a different profile with his sharpness and could be a risk-free signing with potential profit if the move doesn’t work out.
