Koeman himself refused to rule out a late battle for a Champions League qualifying spot.

“The worst situation for a football player is you play for nothing,” said the Dutchman.

“But the first team behind us is West Brom (four points back) and we get West Brom at home in two weeks.”

Although, if Koeman does guide Everton to the Champions League, it is not sure whether he will be at the Goodison Park next year to lead the charge as he is being touted as the prime candidate to replace Luis Enrique at Barcelona if the Spaniard decides to leave.
