Premier League side Everton are said to be in advanced talks to sign Almeria striker El Bilal Toure.

The 21-year-old Ivory Coast forward has been a target for the Goodison Park club all summer.

Toure scored nine goals for Almeria in La Liga last term, as they narrowly avoided relegation.

He also scored for the club in their first ever win over Barcelona, who eventually won the league.

Per Sky Sports, Everton are closing in on a cash deal that will see them sign Toure permanently.

Sean Dyche's team narrowly avoided relegation last season and want to ensure there is no such repeat this term.
