THE BOSS: Koeman will take charge at Everton

The BBC claim the Dutchman will leave Southampton after two years in charge at St Mary's.

Everton will pay around £5m for the 53-year-old.

The BBC add Koeman will bring his brother Erwin and fitness coach Jan Kluitenberg with him to Merseyside.

Koeman will take charge at Goodison Park, replacing Roberto Martinez, who was sacked by the Toffees last month.

His Southampton side finished seventh and sixth respectively over the past two seasons.
