Ruben Vinagre's loan deal at Everton could be cut short in January due to a lack of regular football, according to a new report.
Vinagre signed on a season-long loan from Sporting Lisbon in the summer but has failed to make an impact. The Portuguese left-back has made just four appearances across all competitions, thanks in part to the form of Vitalii Mykolenko, who has been an ever-present in the Premier League for the Blues.
The loan is said to include an option to buy Vinagre for €20m in the summer. But the report from Portuguese newspaper A Bola (via, SportWitness ) states that Everton are 'hardly' likely to trigger that clause - and that there is a 'possibility' the 23-year-old will look for a new club next month.
