With Everton heavily eyeing Gylfi Sigurdsson, they debate his ability to be a difference maker for the club.
Iceland international Gylfi Sigurdsson has completed his transfer to Everton from Swansea City.
Sigurdsson, 27, joins for a fee reported to be worth up to £45 million, although sources have told ESPN FC that the midfielder's former club Tottenham Hotspur are due to receive 10 percent of the total.
Everton boss Ronald Koeman confirmed at his news conference on Wednesday afternoon that the player had successfully passed his medical after the clubs finally came to an agreement over the fee.
"We worked a long time to get this deal in," Koeman said. "He was one of the key players to bring in. We need players who will bring productivity to the team.
"We lost Romelu Lukaku and we lost 25 goals -- we need more players than one to get that number of goals. He is that type of player with that productivity.
"He knows the Premier League, he had a good season at Swansea, and in his position he is one of the best in the Premier League."
Koeman has previously brought in Michael Keane, Davy Klaassen, Cuco Martina, Jordan Pickford, Sandro Ramirez and Wayne Rooney this summer as Everton look to improve on last season's seventh-placed finish.
