Everton boss Carlo Ancelotti is targeting Real Madrid midfielder Isco.

The out-of-favour playmaker has steadily fallen further down the pecking order in the Spanish capital, and is used sparingly by manager Zinedine Zidane.

Talk is growing surrounding Isco's future and Madrid's need to recoup some finances, and now Everton are reported to be readying a bid.

Le10sport says Ancelotti has earmarked Isco as the man he wants in the upcoming January transfer window.

It is reported that Ancelotti feels a similar kind of agreement to the one which saw James Rodriguez sign for the Toffees can be struck.
