Everton have made an offer for Strasbourg attacker Ludovic Ajorque.
Foot Mercato says Everton have made a loan offer with an €18m permanent option.
Talks between the two clubs have progressed positively, with negotiations being handled by an English intermediary.
Under contract at Strasbourg until 2024, Ajorque scored 12 goals in 36 Ligue 1 matches last season.
Strasbourg are ready to sell the attacker and promote Habib Diallo as his replacement.
