Everton are in talks over a move for Porto winger Luis Diaz that could see James Rodriguez go the opposite way.
The 24-year old Diaz has also been followed closely by Leicester City and Tottenham after a stand out season in Portugal and impressed for Colombia at the recent Copa America scoring four goals and finishing as leading scorer with Lionel Messi.
He is valued around £30million but Everton hope the inclusion of former Porto midfielder James on a season loan can help reduce the fee.

Rafa Benitez has made it clear that James does not figure in his plans with the 30-year old Colombian cutting a disgruntled figure following the departure of Carlo Ancelotti to Real Madrid, showing no desire to stay at Everton.
