Everton are growing frustrated with Malaga over talks for Sandro Ramirez.

The Mirror says Everton are becoming increasingly frustrated at the red tape blocking their capture of Sandro.

The Blues pulled off a real coup when the Spain Under-21 international - who is regarded as his country's next great striker - agreed to join them in a deal that will only cost a little over £5m.

But despite reports suggesting he would be unveiled on Thursday, his club Malaga have placed every obstacle in the way of a swift conclusion to the transfer because of the low clause inserted by the player when he moved to them a year ago.

With the clause activated, the deal will go through, but it could be some days yet before the arrangements are completed at the Spanish end.
