The 21-year-old is currently on loan with Sevilla, but has managed just three goals in 27 appearances so far this season, while only one of those goals has come in La Liga.

As a result, Barcelona are reportedly prepared to let him go this summer, with the highest bidder likely to be rewarded. However, there is little else to suggest that Brendan Rodgers might be interested.

While young and full of potential, he managed just four goals in 29 games for an in-form Everton side last season. He also won his first international cap for Spain towards the end of last year, but is yet to feature since then.

A far more likely move for the player would be a return to Goodison Park, where he became something of a fan favourite, despite his indifferent record. Indeed, the Liverpool Echo agree that such a move is more than possible.
