Everton have joined the race for AC Milan striker Krzysztof Piatek, according to the newspaper edition of The Sunday Mirror (19/01/2020, page 66), as quoted on HITC.
The 24-year-old was strongly linked to a move to Goodison Park in November with the Toffees then reported to be ready to exchange Moise Kean for him.
The Poland international rejected the chance to join Crystal Palace earlier this month, as reported on CalcioMercato, but he is also being chased by Tottenham Hotspur.
The return of Zlatan Ibrahimovic to AC Milan has plunged Piatek’s future at the club into severe doubt, which has led multiple European clubs to start a battle for his signature.
READ EVERTON VERDICT
There is absolutely no doubt about Piatek’s finishing ability.
The 24-year-old scored 30 goals in domestic football last season but due to limited game time this campaign, he has only got his name on the scoresheet four times in the league.
We believe that Piatek would be a great addition to the squad because of his desire to score goals, but we also feel he is not a player that Everton absolutely needs at this moment in time.
Carlo Ancelotti has Dominic Calvert-Lewin, Moise Kean and Oumar Niasse at his disposal so we feel that if Piatek does sign, then he could face the same problem regarding playing time at Goodison Park.
