Everton boss David Moyes is chasing Real Madrid midfielder Sergio Canales.
The Mirror says Moyes wants the attacking midfielder on loan for a season after Jose Mourinho cleared him to leave Real for first-team football.
Canales moved to Madrid from Racing Santander a year ago - when Everton were among the bidders - but has barely featured.
The Bernabeu hierarchy do not want to lose the 20-year-old permanently as he is rated a star of the future and a top commercial draw among younger fans.
