Everton are willing to meet the release clause for Deportivo La Coruna forward, Lucas Perez, according to El Desmarque.
Koeman is keen to strengthen his squad ahead of next week’s deadline, with a host of names being linked with a move to Goodison Park.
Deportivo’s Perez is the latest name to appear, and it seems Everton are willing to meet the release clause of €20million and offer a four-year-deal for the Spaniard.
The 27-year-old joined Deportivo last summer following a loan spell where he scored six and assisted four times in 21 La Liga appearances.
Last season, Perez hit fine form, by scoring 17 goals in 36 league games. He also assisted 11 times. His goal scoring form left him only behind some of Europe’s elite in the chart.
Perez has continued his goal scoring form into this season, scoring twice on the opening day of the 2016/17 season, in a 2-1 win over Eibar at the weekend.
Despite the signings of Maarten Stekelenburg, Idrissa Gueye, Ashley Williams and Yannick Bolasie, Koeman is actively looking to strengthen his squad, with the front line a priority.
With Oumar Niasse on his way out and the future of Arouna Kone unclear, the Dutchman is looking for reinforcements to take some weight from Romelu Lukaku’s shoulders.
