Everton coach Ronaldo Koeman suggests that he is happy with his summer transfer business despite losing out on Moussa Sissoko to Tottenham Hotspur on deadline day.

Everton boss Ronald Koeman has hinted that he is happy with the club's summer signings despite missing out on Moussa Sissoko on transfer deadline day.

The Toffees brought in three high-profile signings in the shape of Yannick Bolasie, Ashley Williams and Idrissa Gueye, and Koeman has stated that he is pleased with the shape that he now finds his squad in at the start of the new Premier League season.

"Overall [the window was] positive, because we signed some good players," said Koeman, according to BT Sport.

"Of course, we had a disappointment on the last day, but that happens in football, because you don't get always what you like to have.

"It was not in our hands with Sissoko. He chose finally a different option, but I can't say anything against the club, the board, the chairman, because we did everything to get the player."

Everton missed out on Sissoko when the French winger decided to move to Tottenham Hotspur late in the day.
