Everton are reportedly interested in a move for Rennes winger Ismaila Sarr. As reported by WIW Sport, Everton are keen to sign the 20-year-old talent before the end of the transfer window this week.

The young attacker impressed at the World Cup with his nation and Everton are right to be keen on such a player.

The Daily Mail has previously suggested he could have a price-tag as high as £50 million. However, Le Quotidien suggested he was being valued at €30 million (£26 million) in December when Crystal Palace were reportedly showing interest in the player.

At that price, Everton must make a move for the player. He would be the perfect upgrade on Theo Walcott.

Signed by Sam Allardyce last January in a reported £20m deal, the former Arsenal and England attacker has not been a hit at Goodison Park. Once again, his end product has been called into question as well as his technical ability on the ball. He is still quick, but in a race with Sarr, he might be left trailing.

The Rennes star is young, hungry and capable of having his bad habits taught out of him. Walcott is now set in his often irritating ways.

If Everton can bring in Sarr, either now or in the summer, they should definitely do it. If it means the end for Walcott, it would not be the end of the world.
