Everton boss Roberto Martinez is ready to re-sign AS Monaco striker Lacina Traore.

The Sunday Express says according to reports in France, Monaco are prepared to do business with Everton for their Ivorian star.

The French side are looking for a £2m loan fee until May, a price the Blues could be enticed to spend should their poor run of form continue.

Traore spent the second-half of last term at Goodison Park, and got off to a flyer when scoring in the fourth-minute of his debut against Swansea.
