Everton are reportedly among a host of clubs interested in FC Cincinnati striker Brandon Vazquez.
That is according to 90min.com, who claim fellow Premier League sides Crystal Palace and Bournemouth are also keeping tabs on Vazquez, as well as Scottish outfit Rangers, and Championship promotion hopefuls Middlesbrough, Sheffield United and Norwich City.
Vazquez has caught the attention of clubs across the world after an impressive campaign in MLS last year, netting 18 goals and providing eight assists in 33 appearances.

In January, he almost made the switch to MX side Chivas de Guadalajara but opted to instead reject their advances as he didn't feel ready to move on.
However, the prospect of moving to Europe is often too good to turn down for most Americans, with almost the entirety of their national team now playing across the Atlantic Ocean.
Regardless of what division they will be playing in next season, Everton are likely to be in the market for a new striker in the summer with Dominic Calvert-Lewin still struggling with injuries, and Neal Maupay having failed to make an impact.
Speaking in an interview previously, Vazquez may well have opened the door for a summer switch, admitting that a move to Europe is a lifelong dream of his.
“Of course, my whole life I've always wanted to go to Europe. And for sure, that's the next step that I want to take," he said.
"But nothing's for certain, so I know I just have to keep doing my job here at Cincinnati, and if that's what's meant to happen, then it'll happen. But for now, I'm just focused on improving myself every single day.”
