Ronald Koeman is set to inherit an Everton squad worth around £230m.

But the Dutchman faces a fight to keep hold of two of the Blues’ most prized assets this summer.

Koeman’s official appointment as Roberto Martinez’s replacement is set to be delayed until next week as the 53-year-old finalises terms on his move from Southampton.

A leading Swiss-based research body has calculated the current transfer market values of the Everton squad, with Romelu Lukaku topping the list at 58.1m Euros (£45.4m).

Ross Barkley (£31m) and John Stones (29.9m) are the second and third most valuable players in the Everton squad, according to CIES Football Observatory.

Koeman will be handed the keys to a £100m transfer war chest this summer but how valuable are the rest of the players currently at Goodison?







The list does not include those players out of contract, or Aiden McGeady, Jonjoe Kenny and Darron Gibson, who has just signed a new two-year deal.

But CIES’ list values Gerard Deulofeu at £16.8m, Mo Besic at £14.8 but full-back Seamus Coleman is only seen as a £7.35m player.

January signed Oumar Niasse, bought for £13.5m sees his value drop to £4.2m while Gareth Barry, Everton’s player of the year, is ranked as the squad’s second cheapest at just £1.3m.

The full list reads (In Euros):

Lukaku (58.1m), Barkley (39.7m), Stones (38.2m), Deulofeu (21.5m), Funes Mori (19m), McCarthy (14.5m), Besic (18.9m), Lennon (9.6m), Coleman (9.4m), Cleverley (9.1m), Baines (7.8m), Galloway (7.4m), Mirallas (6.8m), Niasse (5.4m), Robles (5.2m), Jagielka (4.9m), Pennington (4.5m), Oviedo (3.5m), Davies (2.9m), Dowell (2.4m), Kone (2m), Browning (1.7m), Barry (1.7m), Connolly (1.6m).

The total value is 295.8m Euros, roughly £231m.

The Premier League are due to confirm Everton’s released and retained list for next season, on Friday afternoon.
