Valencia to take Everton outcast Sandro Ramirez on loan?

La Liga title challengers Valencia are reportedly confident of bringing in Sandro Ramirez on loan from Everton for the second half of the season.

The 22-year-old has failed to get going since arriving at Goodison Park from Malaga in the summer, managing just one goal in 11 outings.

Sandro had a far more impressive goal rate in the Spanish top flight, where he netted 16 times in 31 appearances for Malaga, and Canal7 claims that he may soon be on his way back.

Valencia, currently five points worse off than leaders Barcelona, will offer the former Spain Under-21s international a temporary route out of Merseyside when the transfer window reopens.

Sevilla and Atletico Madrid have also been linked, but Los Che are said to be hopeful of striking an initial loan agreement with Everton.
