Lacina Traore to undergo Everton medical?

Lacina Traore has reportedly travelled to England for a medical with Everton.

The Monaco striker had recently been heavily linked with a move to West Ham United, but manager Sam Allardyce conceded yesterday that his side were "unlikely" to sign the 23-year-old.

As a result, Everton are now the favourites to sign the frontman, who will undergo a medical and discuss personal terms with the club over the next 24 hours, according to Sky Sports News.

Traore only joined Monaco earlier this month from Russian side Anzhi Makhachkala.
