Everton boss Ronald Koeman says that his side are 'ready' to kick off their new Premier League season.
The Toffees, who have spent a considerable amount on players this summer, wrapped up their pre-season with a 2-2 draw against Sevilla at Goodison Park on Sunday. Koeman's side will begin their league season with the trip to Stoke City on Saturday.
"The team is ready for the season starting next week," Koeman told evertontv. "We have had two good games in the Europa League and we know the importance of playing for points. We start at home and that is always good as well.
"It is always good to have no losses in pre-season because it is better for the confidence of the players. I thought a 2-2 draw was a fair reflection of what happened this afternoon.
"It was a good friendly against a really good football team. Sevilla have good qualities on the ball and they made it really difficult. But everybody got some minutes and we are happy enough about the physical levels of the team."
"Of course we can still improve, because we lost control of the game and found it tough after the first half. But it was a good friendly to end on."
