Everton are reportedly looking to Boca Juniors.

Everton are reportedly closing in on a deal for Boca Juniors left-back Frank Fabra, but a real show of ambition would be to move for his teammate Cristian Pavon.

Pavon, 22, is five years younger than Fabra and is Boca’s brightest attacking talent.

This season the winger has scored five goals and provided 10 assists in 21 games, following up eight and eight the previous campaign.

Extra report Everton are eyeing left-back Fabra, who Boca are demanding £8.75 million for.

Right winger Cristan Pavon would be a lot more expensive, with ESPN reporting Boca will make teams pay his £30 million release clause.

He has recently been linked to Arsenal and AC Milan, and made his debut for Argentina last year.

It is still questionable whether he will make it to the World Cup, but either way, Everton should look to move now before his stock rises further.

Pavon is the kind of unpredictable attacker who Everton need to stretch teams and unlock defences, and his knack for making an impact on games could make him a big hit in the Premier League.

He would be an expensive signing, but Everton are not afraid of making a splash as they have shown over the past year.
