The Rennes winger would be a perfect replacement for the injured Everton winger.
Everton were handed a major blow on Monday as winger Yannick Bolasie was ruled out until the end of the season by sources such as the Mail.
The Congolese international has been an ever-present in Ronald Koeman’s side since joining in the summer and will be sorely missed by the Toffees.
Finding a replacement in the January transfer window will likely be high among the Blues priorities, with Manchester United’s Memphis Depay sure to be among them.

Koeman and his scouting team would be wise to look across the Channel to France in their search.
Currently playing for Rennes in Ligue 1, Paul-Georges Ntep would be a smart signing after the injury to Bolasie.
A pacy left-winger with an eye for a pass and a love to dribble, the Frenchman is as close to a replacement for their injured star as they could hope for.

He has been in fine form this season, with five assists to his name so far, the second highest managed by any player in Ligue 1.
More importantly, with his contract set to expire next summer, he could be available at a modest price that would not dent Everton’s transfer budget significantly and allow them to focus elsewhere.
Everton will, of course, have their own targets planned but they could do a lot worse than targeting Ntep after the unfortunate injury to Bolasie.
