Everton in £50m La Liga double swoop for Bakambu, Willian Jose

Everton are planning a £50million double transfer swoop as they plan for life without Romelu Lukaku.

The Sun is reporting that Toffees boss Ronald Koeman is eyeing Villarreal striker Cedric Bakambu and Real Sociedad attacker Willian Jose.

The Goodison Park club fear they may lose star man Lukaku to a bigger club at season's end and are looking at potential replacements to fill the enormous void of the Belgian.

It is understood that Bakambu and Jose would cost around £25m each.

DR Congo international Bakambu, 25, has scored four goals in 24 outings for Villarreal this season, with two of those coming since he returned from African Cup of Nations duty in February.

Meanwhile, 25-year-old Brazilian Jose has plundered 11 in 26 for Sociedad.
