Reported Everton summer target Cedric Bakambu impressed for Villarreal in their 3-2 win against Astana in the Europa League on Thursday night by scoring twice, and Toffees fans have urged their club to sign the striker.

The Sun reported in March that the Merseyside outfit were lining up a summer bid for the DR Congo international, but a move never materialised as they failed to find a replacement for Romelu Lukaku before the transfer window slammed shut.

The 26-year-old has certainly been in good form for the La Liga outfit this term though and his brace on Thursday – having only entered the field with 30 minutes left to play – moved him on to 11 goals in 16 appearances in all competitions this season.

Everton supporters were quick to react to the centre-forward’s performance via social media, and while one described him as an "absolute beast", another said he is "the striker Everton should sign in Jan".

Here is just a selection of the Twitter reaction...
