Everton linked with surprise move for Roma flop

Everton will reportedly battle the likes of West Ham, Crystal Palace and Sampdoria for Roma striker Gregoire Defrel.

According to a report from Corriere dello Sport, all three Premier League sides, as well as Sampdoria, are all keen with the player looking set to leave Rome.

The player is said to be interested in the idea of working under Sampdoria boss Marco Giampaolo, which is likely to boost their chances of sealing a deal for the player.

Fellow Serie A side Genoa are also thought to be interested in the player.

Defrel followed Eusebio Di Francesco from Sassuolo to Roma but he has been unable to step up, scoring just one league goal last season.

Roma will be keen to recoup most of the funds they spent on the player, who joined in a €15 million deal after initially signing on loan.
