Sylvain Distin has expressed his concerns over Evertons transfer dealings. The former magpie feels threatened by the tyne-wear duo and feels Everton could face stiff competition this season.
“We have to wait and see who is going to come and go,” Distin said. “Hopefully none of the top players will leave, but I think we definitely need to strengthen our team a bit.
“If you look at the teams around us, they have got three or four if not five players, and quality players too.
“You look at a team like Sunderland or Newcastle, teams like that, they have definitely improved their team in both numbers and quality, and that is what we need. We need to improve the squad in terms of quality.
“That doesn’t mean we don’t have quality now, but we have a small squad and we will get injuries – that is the Premier League – so it could be tough. One or two players would definitely help.”
Everton already have concerns over the future of Phil Jagielkha who is being sought after by Arsenal for a reported fee of 15m pounds.
