Leon Osman believes Ronald Koeman wants to add more players to his Everton squad as he continues his transformation of the team.
Koeman is on the verge of completing a £22m deal for Manchester United midfielder Morgan Schneiderlin for his second January signing, following the acquisition of Ademola Lookman from Charlton.
That move would take the Dutchman's spending at Goodison Park over the £70m mark, having signed eight players in the summer, including Yannick Bolasie for £28m and Ashley Williams for £12m.
Osman, who made 432 appearances for Everton in a 16-year career at the club, believes Schneiderlin may not be the final new arrival this month.
"A lot of people use the word transition and I would use that word to describe where Everton are at the moment," he told Premier League Daily.
"They're transitioning from a Roberto Martinez-style team and the way he sets them up into what Ronald Koeman wants.
"I believe Ronald Koeman still expects his team to keep kicking on and that he's not happy with all of the players he has got at the club.
"He's still making signings, it looks like he'll be bringing in Morgan Schneiderlin, and he's still trying to mould the team as his own.
"They're still seventh with 30 points amid that transition so it's difficult to judge how they are performing and you can only really judge a new manager in their second season."
Osman does, however, feels Everton are long overdue a trophy win, with their most recent silverware being the 1995 FA Cup.
They were knocked out of the EFL Cup by Norwich in September and went out of the FA Cup to Premier League champions Leicester City on Saturday.
"They should be winning silverware," he said. "It's been well documented that it's been a long time since Everton picked up any silverware, that's got to be the first aim.
"They've gone out of a couple of competitions very early this season for but's been too long that the club has gone without winning a trophy."
