Forgotten Everton man Aiden McGeady has apparently been offered a chance of first-team football with Sevilla in the leadup to Ireland's Euro 2016 campaign.

Sevilla is willing to meet Everton's loan conditions, the Guardian's Andy Hunter reports, while McGeady's former club Celtic was apparently put off by the Toffees' insistence that his wages be paid in full over a loan spell.

Championship clubs Leeds United, Blackburn Rovers, and Sheffield Wednesday were reportedly willing to meet that demand as well, but Hunter says McGeady would prefer to play at a top-flight side like Sevilla, desperate to remain in the thoughts of national team boss Martin O'Neill.

Unai Emery's outfit currently sits seventh in the La Liga table, faces Celta Vigo in the Copa del Rey semifinals next month, and remains in the hunt for a third consecutive Europa League win. This stacked fixture list has prompted the squad's need for backup on the flanks.

McGeady has only managed a half of action this season, when the Toffees faced Barnsley in the League Cup. The 29-year-old winger has plied his trade abroad before, spending three-and-a-half years at Spartak Moscow before his 2014 move to Everton.
