Everton are keen on Chelsea striker Bertrand Traore and are expected to make an offer in the coming days.
The 21-year-old is a target for a number of Premier League clubs including Newcastle United and West Ham United.
Recent reports have claimed that the Hammers are ready to offer £17million to secure his services.
Earlier this month, the player made it clear that his desire is to return to Stamford Bridge to enjoy regular first-team football in Antonio Conte's squad.
"I will go with the national team and after that take some rest," he declared.
"Then I will go back to Chelsea and have a talk – we will see. That's my hope [to be at Chelsea next season].
"That was the key when I came to Ajax – play as much as I could, do well, and try to go back to Chelsea.
"I think I had a great season but I don't decide to stay at Chelsea or move. I will see what my future will be."
