Everton are looking to sign Barcelona youngster Munir El Haddadi in January, according to a report in Spanish publication Don Balon.
Munir has made 11 appearances for Barcelona this season, although six of those were off the bench. With Lionel Messi close to a return from injury, chances will be even more limited for the 20-year-old.
The youngster has been at Barcelona since he was 16, but four years on, he seems keen to see more first team action, especially as he looks to add to his solitary international cap which he earned during Spain’s 5-1 win over Macedonia in September 2014.
According to reports, Munir has spoken to Gerard Deulofeu about making the switch from the Champions League holders to Merseyside, and Deulofeu has encouraged his former teammate to make the move.
Everton would likely face a lot of competition to sign such a talented youngster, and they’re unlikely to get him on the cheap as he is under contract until 2017.
