The Argentine ace would be a useful addition to the Everton squad.

Toffees boss Ronald Koeman will be desperate to bolster his attacking options before the transfer window slams shut at the end of this month, with the signing of an established striker to supplement the skills of Sandro Ramirez an absolute necessity, if he is to guide his side to a place inside the Champions League spots.

With this in mind, the Dutchman should consider a move for Atletico Madrid forward Luciano Vietto, who has been linked with a £13.5 million move to Southampton, according to the Sun, in their August 11th print edition, page 61.

The 23-year-old possesses exceptional technical ability, and his nouse in and around the penalty box could prove to be a huge asset to Everton.

The Argentine is most comfortable when deployed sitting just off of the main striker, and he could form a potent partnership with Sandro Ramirez.

Vietto has scored 51 goals and registered 23 assists in 179 career appearances, but it is his overall contribution to his team that is the most impressive facet of his game.

He has pace in abundance, along with impressive stamina levels, and his willingness to make selfless runs into the channels would help free up space for the likes of Davy Klaassen and Wayne Rooney to do their business.

And Ronald Koeman should not hesitate to bring the former Villarreal man to Goodison Park, if he has genuine ambitions of taking Everton to the next level.
