It looks as though Ronald Koeman is keen to bolster the attacking ranks at Everton once again in January as reports in Italy suggest that he is set to move in for Napoli attacker Manolo Gabbiadini.
A recent report from Italian news outlet Corriere Dello Sport have claimed that Everton are seriously considering going back in for the versatile forward when the January transfer window opens.
It was reported just a couple of weeks ago that Gabbiadini was still regarded as a target for The Toffees, despite his poor form in Serie A for Napoli so far this campaign.
It’s safe to say that the Italy international has lost his place in the starting line-up under Maurizio Sarri at Napoli, with the early-season form of Arek Milik and Dries Mertens’ emergence as a goal scorer pushing Gabbiadini down the pecking order at the club.
Southampton are another Premier League side claimed to be interested in the forward but reports suggest that they are only preparing a bid worth €18 million for his services.
This is lower than what the recent report claims Everton will be willing to offer, with Koeman quoted to be weighing up a €20 million move for Gabbiadini when the winter transfer window opens next month.
The Dutchman is looking to add firepower to his striking options at Goodison Park to ease the pressure on Romelu Lukaku when it comes to goals.
