Former Everton star Tony Cottee has hit out at Everton for signing Gylfi Sigurdsson during the summer transfer window and added that the Icelandic international was not what the club needed.
The Merseyside club forked out £45 million to lure Sigurdsson and he has so far scored just one goal from ten appearances for the club.
Sigurdsson was one of the bright sparks for Swansea last season and helped the Welsh outfit avoid relegation from the Premier League.
The Toffees are currently in 16th position on the Premiership standings after taking eight points from their opening eight games.
Cottee now feels that Sigurdsson was not what the club needed and said: “I’m not surprised they are struggling to a degree if you look at their transfer policy.
“Gylfi Sigurdsson is a very good player but he wasn’t what they needed and £45million was a lot to pay for him.”
