Everton are believed to be willing to allow Gerard Deulofeu to leave Goodison Park during the January transfer window.

According to a report in the Gazette, Middlesbrough are keen to sign Everton’s Gerard Deulofeu in the January transfer window.

Boro have identified Deulofeu as a winger who could increase the threat of their attack.

And Everton are believed to be willing to allow the Spaniard to leave, with Ronald Koeman having doubts about the former Barcelona man.

Deulofeu has shown flashes of brilliance at Goodison Park, but he appears to be way down the pecking order now.

Deulofeu was not even in Everton’s match day squad to face Manchester City yesterday, with youngsters Ademola Lookman and Dominic Calvert-Lewin now seemingly ahead of him in Koeman’s plans.

And it is claimed that Everton are open to offers for Deulofeu, with the Merseyside club keen to offload the 22-year-old.

Everton are reportedly willing to listen to either loan or permanent offers for the skilful winger.

Deulofeu has made 13 appearances for the Toffees in all competitions this term, but he has only contributed one assist.
