Everton have asked Rennes about taking their winger Kamaldeen Sulemana on an initial loan as Frank Lampard is keen on reinforcing his attacking line.
The 20-year-old Ghana international was on Newcastle's list but his £40million price tag put the Magpies off.
Nevertheless, Sulemana is open to leaving Rennes during the January transfer window and could join Everton - who are currently fighting a relegation battle.
