Barcelona coach Luis Enrique is keen to tempt Gerard Deulofeu back from Everton.

Deulofeu is beginning to reach peak form for Everton and hit a hat-trick for Spain U21s last week.

Sport says Barca chief Robert Fernandez has spoken directly with the midfielder about returning home.

Fernandez and Enrique are shopping for a replacement for Chelsea winger Pedro - and Deulofeu has been added to their shortlist.

The young Spaniard signed permanently for Everton in the summer after spending last season on-loan at Sevilla from Barca.
