Everton are reportedly interested in a deal to bring Chelsea youngster Bertrand Traore to Goodison Park on loan for the rest of the season.
The 20-year-old striker has featured for just seven minutes in the league for the Blues but impressed during a loan stint with Dutch side Vitesse last season, scoring 14 times in 33 league appearances.
According to The Sun, Toffees manager Roberto Martinez is a fan of Traore but is concerned that Chelsea's ongoing pursuit of John Stones may prove a stumbling block in any negotiations.
Chelsea are believed to be prepared to let Traore leave the club on loan this month but will insist that any deal covers the full amount of his £40,000-a-week wages.
