Everton boss Carlo Ancelotti has made Ciro Immobile one of his top targets for the summer, according to 90 Minutes.

Ancelotti has apparently been left shocked by the volume of work that needs to be done to make Everton competitive, and he now wants a major say over transfers at the club.

Lazio forward Immobile has been made a priority signing for the Toffees, as they look to increase their goalscoring threat.

Everton actually have had some success with partnering Richarlison and Dominic Calvert-Lewin up-front this season, but finding a goalscorer seems to be Ancelotti’s top priority for the summer.

If Immobile was to sign for the Toffees it would be an eye catching addition, as he has enjoyed such success in Serie A.

The 30-year-old has scored 34 goals in 35 league games for Lazio this term, and would apparently cost at least £50 million.

At his age that would be a risky transfer for Everton, as he won’t have much re-sale value, but Ancelotti still wants to see the forward brought to Goodison Park, as he looks to ensure the Toffees finishes in a much higher position next term.
