Catalan coach Roberto Martinez has set his sights on taking young Barcelona forward Munir El Haddadi to Everton next season.

Last year Martinez managed to take Gerard Deulofeu to the Premier League club, so he has previous when it comes to loaning in Barça's fledgling stars.

According to the 'Daily Star', Martinez has also tried to get Adama Traore, Martin Montoya and Sergi Roberto at Everton in the past.

However, now he is set to go all out in his efforts to get Munir to Goodison Park.

West Ham and Sunderland have also been following the 19-year-old's steps, but it is Martinez's excellent relationship with Barça that has Everton leading the chase.

Luis Enrique, though, will have the final say on whether Munir is allowed to spend some time developing away from Camp Nou next season.

Since Luis Suarez returned from his ban in October, the Spain U21 international has featured more prominently for Barça B, although he was back among the substitutes for the 6-1 win over Rayo Vallecano on Sunday.

If minutes and games are looking limited again next season, a loan may be a smarter move than another season in La Segunda -- or worse, Segunda B.
