Everton are interested in signing Willian Jose from Real Sociedad this summer, according to Estadio Deportivo.
The Brazilian forward was linked with a move to Goodison Park in previous transfer windows and it seems the Toffees could be ready to reignite their interest in the player.
Jose enjoyed a strong season in Spain with Real Sociedad. From 34 La Liga appearances, the striker found the net on 15 occasions and also chipped in with an additional four assists.
From six Europa League appearances, too, Jose found the net on five occasions.
The 26-year-old has often been linked with a move away from Sociedad but no transfer has ever materialised. Borussia Dortmund were keen to recruit the player but were allegedly put off by his monstrous release clause.
Embedded in his current contract with La Liga outfit Sociedad, it’s believed that Jose’s release clause is set at £52.6 million. The Spanish side are understood to be keen on selling the player for no less than the aforementioned figure.
Everton have plenty of attacking options but strikers have been linked with summer moves to Merseyside, with Jose the latest name touted.
