Everton v Tottenham Hotspur - Premier League
Klaassen has barely featured in the league so far

Dutch midfielder Klaassen was among Everton's first recruitments of the summer when the Toffees paid Ajax £23.6 million in July.

Klaassen had a pretty impressive record at his boyhood club, scoring 55 goals in 181 appearances in all competitions. It was always a risk to bring in a player who had only succeeded in one league, but Ronald Koeman thought it would pay off.

But he's turned out to be one of the biggest flops in what has been a dismal season for Everton so far. He has only four appearances in the Premier League with no goals or assists.

Ad

Both Koeman and Allardyce have preferred Morgan Schneiderlin, Gylfi Sigurdsson, Tom Davies and Idrissa Gueye in midfield. Klaassen has appeared regularly only in the Europa League so far, and that hasn't gone so well either.

He's still a pretty talented player and is also shaping up to be an important player for the Dutch national team. At this point in his career, he can't afford to stay at a club where his playing time isn't guaranteed.

He is apparently willing to fight for his place at Goodison Park though. Newcastle and Celtic have been linked with him, and a loan move till the end of the season to rediscover his touch might probably be worth the gamble.
