Struggling Turkish Super Lig side Sivasspor are reportedly chasing a January deal for Everton centre-forward Salomon Rondon.
The Venezuela striker only arrived at Goodison Park on a free transfer in the summer, but already links to Turkey have emerged. The 32-year-old was understood to be a target for Besiktas, but now league rivals Sivasspor are keen.
The Sivas-based side have won just twice this season, but have drawn seven of their 12 games. They sit in 15th place. And coach Riza Calimbay has identified Rondon as the man who can turn his side’s many draws into wins.
According to Turkish news outlet Fanatik, Sivasspor “will push” for a move for the attacker in the January window.
“Significant progress has been made for the player,” as per the source.
Rondon was a transfer deadline day signing by Rafa Benitez in August. The West Brom forward signed a two-year contract with the option for a third season to give Benitez some cover for Dominic Calvert-Lewin.
And just a couple of weeks after arriving the 6ft 1in forward was called upon after Calvert-Lewin picked up toe and quad injuries. He has since made seven appearances, including five Premier League starts, but he is yet to register a goal or assist.
The Toffees boss had the forward in his time at Newcastle, where he scored 12 goals in 33 games. In fact he was Benitez’s “number one transfer target” when he arrived in 2018 on loan from WBA.
Benitez then took the player to Chinese Super League side Dalian Professional before he followed the Spaniard to Goodison.
Rafa chances at being next Prem boss sacked soar, as Solskjaer continues to cling on
Calvert Lewin close to a return Whether he would be allowed to leave remains unclear, but he is trusted by Benitez.

Lucas Digne's Everton future has been thrown into doubt after he was dropped from the 18-man squad for their win over Arsenal for arguing with boss Rafa Benitez.
The French left-back was nowhere to be seen when the Toffees pulled off an impressive comeback to beat the Gunners 2-1 on Monday night, with Ben Godfrey being played out of position to fill the gap left by Digne.
And according to The Athletic, the reason for Digne's absence was due to an argument he had with Benitez in Spanish, leaving the Everton boss to discipline the squad's only-recognised left-back before their crucial game at Goodison Park.

There has to be competition for his place.

Chelsea have been linked with a potential move for Everton left-back Lucas Digne.
It comes after Digne was dropped by Rafael Benitez after an apparent difference of opinion with the Everton boss.
The Express speculate that Chelsea could therefore move for the Frenchman given that Ben Chilwell could be sidelined for a number of months with a knee injury.
