Ronald Koeman has reportedly wanted to bring Chelsea forward Bertrand Traore to Everton for some time.

French newspaper L’Equipe have suggested that Chelsea are looking for around £8 million for Bertrand Traore this summer, and that could make him a bargain buy for Everton.

The Toffees have been tracking Traore’s progress for some time (CalcioMercato), and it seems that Chelsea are now willing to part company with the Burkina Faso international.

The Blues are believed to be willing to accept an £8 million fee for Traore, and that makes him a real bargain in the current market.

Traore is still only 21-years-old, meaning he still has a vast amount of progression to make.

Yet, he is still a player who has played a key part in helping Ajax reach the Europa League final this season, and looks ready to explode on to the big stage.

Traore has scored 13 goals in 35 league and European appearances for Ajax this term, as well as claiming six assists.

And, considering Everton paid more money to sign Ademola Lookman in January, who was playing in League One with Charlton Athletic at the time, he has to be looked upon as brilliant value for Ronald Koeman’s side.
