Everton keeper Joel Robles has welcomed the recent transfer speculation linking the club with a summer move for Malaga forward Sandro Ramirez.

The Toffees are believed to be competing with Southampton and Atletico Madrid for the 21-year-old, who scored 16 goals in 31 league appearances this season.

"I still follow La Liga closely and he [Sandro] is a great striker," Robles told website IBTimes.

"Anyone who comes to improve the team would be welcome."

Robles also admitted that he is aware that manager Ronald Koeman has been to Spain to watch a Malaga game this season.

"I know that recently there were some pictures of Koeman watching a Malaga game but I do not know anything else," he added.

"He came from the Barcelona youth ranks and he has progressed a lot this season.

"He has done really well at Malaga, he is a scorer but it [signing him] is a question for the club. It's not up to me to decide that."
