Everton boss made right decision to leave Southampton

Ronald Koeman believes Everton’s flurry of activity in the transfer market proves he made the right decision to leave Southampton.

Koeman has shelled out around £130 million this summer bringing in the likes of Gylfi Sigurdsson, Jordan Pickford, Michael Keane and Wayne Rooney, as the Toffees bid to force their way into Premier League’s top four.

Hii decision to quit Southampton in 2016 was questioned by many people after he had guided the club to sixth in the table, but Koeman recognised the potential at Goodison Park.

With Everton co-owner Farhad Moshiri eager to establish Everton as a top club, Koeman says the arrival of players like Sigurdsson vindicates his decision to leave St Mary’s.
