1 Everton target Thievy

Espanyol will reject a proposal from an unnamed club for Everton target Thievy.

The striker, whose full name is Thievy Guivane Bifouma Koulossa, is believed to be attracting interest from Roberto Martinez following a successful loan spell last season at Las Palmas, where he scored 11 league goals.

He has not featured regularly for Espanyol this term but has managed three La Liga strikes despite starting just two games.

Espanyol president Joan Collet has received an offer for the £2.2m-rated France Under-21 international but insists he intends to turn it down.

He said: “We have received a proposal for him. The answer will be negative because it does not meet what we have asked for.”
