Everton have reportedly identified Lyon forward Bertrand Traore as a potential summer signing.
The Toffees have missed out on qualification for next season's Europa League, but that is unlikely to prevent Marco Silva from making several significant additions during the transfer window.
According to L'Equipe, Everton are ready to move for Traore, who has previously represented Chelsea in the Premier League.
The attacker has contributed 20 goals from 71 outings in Ligue 1 since June 2017, although the Burkina Faso international often found himself on the bench during the most recent campaign.
Traore still has three years remaining on his contract, which leaves Lyon in a strong position regarding his future, but the club could decide to cash in should they be offered the chance to at least double their money on a player who cost them an initial £8.8m.
