Everton will hold talks with Malaga striker Sandro Ramirez this week ahead of agreeing a £5.2million transfer.

The Spain U21 international is due to fly in to Liverpool on Monday to discuss his prospective transfer to Everton after a proposed move to Atletico Madrid fell through following their transfer ban.

Sandro scored 16 goals in 31 games last season and Everton are ready to exploit the low buy-out clause in his contract.

The former Barcelona striker is excited at the prospect of working with Ronald Koeman

The former Barcelona striker is excited at the prospect of working with Ronald Koeman. He is quick, aggressive and can play across the front line.

Everton, who remain hopeful of convincing Michael Keane to join from Burnley, are eager to bolster their forward options with Romelu Lukaku hoping to join Chelsea once the clubs can agree a fee for the £100m-rated Belgian.

Chelsea have discussed offering Michy Batshuayi as a makeweight in the deal though the striker is also wanted by Monaco and West Ham and wants to play regularly ahead of the World Cup.

Chelsea and Monaco are hoping to conclude negotiations over the £38m transfer of 22-year-old midfielder Tiemoue Bakayoko at the end of the week.
