Valencia are pushing Everton to release Sandro Ramirez.

The former Malaga and Barcelona striker has struggled to settle on Merseyside since his August arrival and has been linked with a return to Spain in January.

Cadena Cope says Valencia coach Marcelino is keen to boost his attacking options with Sandro's signing.

And Los Che are this week pushing Everton for a decision over the Spain U21 international, who has managed just the one goal from 13 games.

New Everton boss Sam Allardyce has stated he'd be willing to work with Sandro, but a final decision will be made after one-on-one talks with the players over the coming days.
