Everton scout 18-goal Aberdeen striker and 16-year-old Ross County defender

Everton have reportedly joined the race to sign Aberdeen star Duk as the forward courts interest from the Premier League.

Burnley, who will immediately return to the English top flight next season after sealing promotion from the Championship, have been mooted as a club thought to be monitoring the 23-year-old, whose real name is Luis Lopes. But now the Blues, who are managed by former Burnley boss Sean Dyche, are said to be in the hunt after sending scouts to watch Duk.

According to the Daily Mail, Everton are monitoring the goal-getter, who has netted 18 times for Aberdeen this season as they battle for European football. However, with three years remaining on his contract and former club Benfica due 50 per cent of any transfer fee, any deal is likely to be a hefty one.
