Everton boss Ronald Koeman reveals that he wants to bring another striker to Goodison Park in this summer's transfer window.

Everton boss Ronald Koeman has revealed that he wants to bring another striker to Goodison Park in this summer's transfer window.

Leighton Baines scored the only goal of the match as Everton recorded a 1-0 victory over Slovakian side MFK Ruzomberok in the first leg of their Europa League third qualifying round tie on Thursday night.

"It's always difficult against these kind of teams who drop back. We are not 100% yet, it is pre-season and it is a good result. We would like to score more, we had chances but every clean sheet in European football is a good result," Koeman told ITV Sport.

"When Sandro [Ramirez] came on, Wayne Rooney had more freedom and we had pace up front which made the team better. We know that we would like another striker, you normally need two nines in the squad. I am really confident that we can bring in a good one to make us better."

Cuco Martina, Michael Keane, Davy Klaassen and Sandro Ramirez all made their Everton debuts against Ruzomberok, while Rooney made his Goodison Park return after re-joining the Toffees from Manchester United.
