Everton are still hopeful they can sign Samuel Chukwueze from Villarreal in the summer.

The Toffees will have to avoid relegation to make such a transfer a possibility.

However, Radio Marca presenter Pedro Pablo Parrado claimed this week that Chukwueze is set for a Premier League move.

The attacker netted twice in a remarkable 3-2 win for Villarreal over Real Madrid at the Santiago Bernabeu at the weekend.

“Half the Premier League loved him, the latest one was Everton," Parrado said.

Chukwueze has a €100 million release clause in his contract.
