Torino have joined Everton and West Bromwich Albion in the race to sign striker Diego Falcinelli from Sassuolo this summer.
That is according to talkSPORT, who say that the Turin side will give the Italian the option to stay in his home country after impressing so much in 2016/17.

Falcinelli spent the season on loan at Crotone, scoring 13 goals in 36 Serie A appearances to help his adopted side narrowly avoid relegation from Italy’s top flight.
This form attracted interest from the Premier League, with the Toffees viewing the 25-year-old as the ideal replacement for Romelu Lukaku – who has admitted his future lies away from Goodison Park.

Meanwhile, West Brom were also keeping tabs on Falcinelli and the Birmingham Mail reported that they sent scouts to watch the forward in action.
The Baggies are also looking for different options upfront, with Salomon Rondon linked with a return to Rubin Kazan by Russian publication The Sport Express, and see the former Inter Milan youth player as a possible candidate.
