Everton should make a move for young Barcelona forward Abel Ruiz.
The report claims that Chelsea, Arsenal and Manchester City are paying close attention to the 17-year-old, who has a £3 million release clause on his contract.
Most importantly, his current deal expires in 2019, which means all interested clubs should move now before they miss out on a potential bargain buy.
Ronald Koeman should return to his old club and use his good contacts to snap up the highly rated youngster before other potential suitors jump in.
Ruiz is happy at Barca and is keen to stay at Camp Nou, but the report claims that he is worried about regular first-team opportunities.
The youngster is playing for Spain at the FIFA Under-17 World Cup, and Everton scouts, who are watching the competition in India, should take a keen interest in him.
He is the captain of the team and a powerful player who is good at holding the ball up and bring other teammates into play. Surely, he has a great future ahead of him.
Koeman, who was a great player for Barcelona and was the assistant manager at the Catalan club (1998-2000), should use his contact to lure the Spaniard to move to Goodison Park. His huge potential and the relative small release clause make him an attractive option for any Premier League club.
Ruiz may not make an instant impact at the club, but he would be a gamble well worth taking. The chance of a first-team breakthrough is more likely at Everton than at any of the other clubs listed above.
