The agent of Manolo Gabbiadini has reportedly arrived in England to discuss the striker’s move to Everton.
According to reports from Football Italia, the agent of Manolo Gabbiadini has arrived in England to hold talks over the Napoli striker’s prospective move to Premier League outfit Everton.
Everton look likely to keep hold of the services of star striker Romelu Lukaku this season but even though the Belgian international is staying put at Goodison Park, manager Ronald Koeman is believed to be in the market to sign a new striker.
The likes of Lucas Perez, Wilfried Bony and Simone Zaza among others have been linked with a move to Everton over the summer and recently, talk of Napoli star Manolo Gabbiadini signing for the Toffees has been gathering steam.
Gabbiadini has emerged as one of the most highly rated young strikers in the Serie A ever since making his debut as a teenager for Atalanta back in 2010.
Despite his burgeoning reputation, Gabbiadini has struggled for regular first team football at Napoli over the past few seasons and it is believed that the striker is eyeing a move away from the Stadio San Paolo this summer in search of more minutes on the pitch.
Napoli are also said to be ready to offload Gabbiadini for the right price following their expensive summer acquisition of Arkadiusz Milik and according to reports, Everton were said to have expressed an interest in signing the 24-year-old.
Now in a further update to the story, Everton seem to have moved closer in their pursuit of Gabbiadini as the Italian international’s agent has arrived in England to discuss a potential move, according to Football Italia.
In a separate report, the Daily Mail have claimed that Napoli are demanding around £30 million for Gabbiadini and it will be interesting to see if Everton will be ready to splash such a huge amount to get the deal done.
