Everton are chasing Real Sociedad striker Willian Jose.

The Sunday Mirror says Everton boss Ronald Koeman is lining up replacement targets for Romelu Lukaku – with £27million-rated Brazilian star Willian Jose on his hit list.

The Real Sociedad striker is having a good season in La Liga and has bagged nine goals and made three assists for the Basque side.

Everton made a detailed check on the 25-year-old attacker in Sociedad's 1-0 defeat at Atletico Madrid last Tuesday as they prepare to narrow down their options.

The Brazil Under-20 striker left his homeland in 2014 and spent a six month trial stint at Real Madrid before short spells at Real Zaragoza and Las Palmas.
