Everton have joined the scramble for AIK striker Alexander Isak.

The Daily Mail says Everton are attempting to beat Real Madrid to the signing of Isak.

Madrid are understood to have had a £9million proposal rejected for the 17-year-old though AIK are prepared to sell for a Swedish record of £14million.

Chelsea have also asked to be kept informed while Bayern Munich, Juventus and Paris Saint-Germain remain in the frame. The advantage Everton hold is that they may be able to offer a quicker route to the first team and that is sure to appeal to Isak and his agent Vladica Lemic.
