The rumoured Everton target is said to be valued at £1 million.
Everton are interested in signing Spanish goalkeeper Roberto Jiménez Gago in January, according to the Daily Mirror [live blog entry 17:24].
Roberto is currently on loan to Malaga from fellow La Liga side Espanyol, and is said to be valued at £1 million.
The 31-year-old began his career at Atletico Madrid, with whom he won the Europa League at Fulham’s expense seven-and-a-half-years ago, and later picked up more silverware during spells at Benfica and Olympiacos before returning to his homeland last summer.
He has only played six times for his parent club, however, prompting a temporary switch to Malaga, which is not due to end until the summer.
Presumably, though, the deal will include a break clause, allowing Everton to snap him up next month.
Jordan Pickford has impressed as Everton’s number one this season, keeping Maarten Stekelenburg and Joel Robles struggling for opportunities.
Joel, who was a teammate of Roberto at Atletico Madrid, is out of contract at Goodison Park next summer.
