Everton are emerging as favourites to land Real Madrid midfielder Isco.

Mundo Deportivo says Everton could move for Isco in the New Year.

The 29-year-old is currently in the final year of his contract with the La Liga club, which makes a January exit likely.

Everton is a potential destination for Isco, as the player looks for more game time away from the Bernabeu.

Rafa Benitez has worked with Isco before, when he was manager of Real Madrid six years ago.
