Valencia coach Marcelino has admitted his admiration for Everton striker Sandro Ramirez.

Sandro, who only joined Everton last summer from Malaga, is being linked with a loan move away next month.

Valencia have been mentioned as a suitor and Marcelino and admits he's a fan.

"He is a good footballer and knows LaLiga, but I will not talk about any player who is not here," he said.

"The door is closed at the moment, when it opens, we will see what is most positive for the team, but for us the protagonists are the players we have in the squad, who deserve all our thanks."
