Real Madrid's Isco 'keen on Everton move'

Real Madrid attacker Isco is reportedly keen to join Everton on loan in January.

The 28-year-old has made five La Liga appearances for Los Blancos this season but has only started twice and was a second-half substitute against Huesca in the league on Saturday afternoon.

There has been speculation surrounding the Spaniard's future in recent weeks, and according to The Mirror, he is keen to link up with former boss Carlo Ancelotti at Everton.

The report claims that Madrid are open to loaning out the playmaker in January, providing that the team that takes him are prepared to commit to a permanent deal next summer.

Isco is allegedly interested in following former Madrid teammate James Rodriguez to Goodison Park, although the Toffees would have to agree to cover his wages during the loan spell before paying in the region of £18m to make the deal permanent at the end of the 2020-21 campaign.

The four-time Champions League winner has scored 51 times and provided 54 assists in 312 appearances for the his current side since arriving from Malaga in the summer of 2013.
