Everton could be closing in on a move for the Malaga forward.
According to a recent report from the Daily Mail, Malaga forward Sandro Ramirez is excited at the prospect of working with Everton manager Ronald Koeman as the Toffees push for a summer move.
So just how important could the former Barcelona defender be in pursuing the great and the good of the game in years to come?
After all, not many managers have a reputation quite as strong as the imposing Dutchman and his playing history means he is likely to be a name mentioned at the highest echelons, even now.
Sandro is set for talks with Everton today as Koeman attempts to strengthen his forward line with one of Europe’s most exciting young goal-scorers. But if the Spaniard is already excited by the prospect of working with the Toffees boss, he may not have to try too hard to impress.
Koeman has already shown in his deal to bring Ademola Lookman to Goodison Park in January that he can spot a diamond in the rough, and the youngster’s performances in England’s U20 World Cup triumph suggest he could become a superstar for club and country.
Everton already have some of the best young players in the country on their books, but with Sandro seemingly having his head turned by Koeman’s interest, they could also sign a whole host of European talent in the years ahead.
Not every manager has that power, but the Everton boss certainly does and it makes for an exciting time on the blue half of Merseyside.
