Spanish side Villarreal will use some of the cash generated from selling Thierno Barry to Everton to pursue Carlos Soler, who was on loan at West Ham United last season.

Villarreal are selling Barry to David Moyes’ Everton for a fee of €35m plus add-ons, while another attacker, in the shape of Alex Baena, has been sold to Atletico Madrid for €50m.

Barry’s move to the Merseyside club has been essentially done and dusted, leaving Villarreal counting the cash.
