With Everton forced to consider free agents after the January transfer window closed without them signing a single player, Isco has emerged as what is, on face value, the most unlikely of potential targets.
A report in the Times states that after “plates which had been spinning crashed to the floor” ahead of the deadline passing, “now the attention will turn to free agents, with Andre Ayew and Isco, who saw a move to Union Berlin collapse, under consideration.”
While nine seasons in Real Madrid’s first team with 12 goals in 38 games for Spain indicates that Isco is clearly a highly-gifted individual, he certainly does not scream of being an obvious Sean Dyche player. After departing the Bernabeu last summer, he joined La Liga rivals Sevilla on a two-year contract but his deal was terminated by mutual consent on December 21 with coach Jorge Sampaoli stating that Isco: “Did not meet the club’s expectations.”
