Everton management remains confident of signing Malaga striker Sandro Ramirez.

Real Madrid are being linked with the Spain U21 star this week.

But the Mirror says Sandro will finally complete his £5.2million switch to Everton next week - and then head off on holiday.

Everton are waiting for Malaga to sign Ramirez's release forms and the fee, personal terms and medical are all complete.

But the Spanish club are waiting until July 3 when his contract with them expires before ratifying his transfer.
