Everton are in talks for Nantes wonderkid Kamal Bafounta.

L'Equipe says the 16-year-old is set for a bright future having massively impressed in the youth sides this season.

Nantes are desperate to tie him down to a new long-term contract but Bafounta is reluctant to sign a new deal.

The youngster knows clubs across Europe are keen to land his signature and he believes his development could be better suited elsewhere.

Sam Allardyce's Everton are one of the clubs watching him closely.
