Everton tracking Sheffield Wednesday striker Lucas Joao

Everton are tracking Sheffield Wednesday striker Lucas Joao.

The Sun says Everton are looking to sign Owls striker Joao in January.

The 22-year-old striker has scored four goals in 18 appearances since joining the Owls from Nacional in the summer.

"He's remarkable. I don't remember any other player playing second division and getting picked by Portugal," teammate Jose Semedo told BBC Radio Sheffield.

"It's a great achievement and it is massive for the club too because Portugal is one of the best countries in the world.

"I love the way he plays. He combines power, pace, skill and he's a big guy."
