Ronald Koeman On Lukaku and Stones


New Everton boss Ronald Koeman says he is ready to keep both Romelu Lukaku and John Stones
The former Southampton manager was appointed Everton manager after Roberto Martinez was sacked following a disappointing season where Everton finished in the bottom half.
After his appointment, Ronald Koeman says keeping his key players is what he wants to do;
"I haven't spoken to Romelu," Koeman
confessed. "From this moment, I'm working for Everton and I will talk to several players.
"Lukaku is a key player, a goalscorer, you don't want to lose your best players. If I can do something about that, I will."
On Stones' future, Koeman said: "I like to help everybody and sometimes you have something more, he plays where I played. There will be good support for the boy. First I would like to talk to him personally, ask what his feeling is
and make conclusions."
And on if he will sign players from Southampton;
"If we realise we need better players or players in other positions, we will work about that. We have a budget," he said.
"I don't know [if I am going to try and sign a Southampton player]. It's difficult. I like most of the players but maybe it's best we don't make that fight today.
