Everton target Gabbiadini told he can leave in January

Everton could revisit a deal for Napoli striker Manolo Gabbiadini after he was told he can leave in January, according to Calcio Mercato.

The Italian forward was the subject of interest from the Toffees in the summer and were thought to be close to completing a deal before they were told that Manolo would not be leaving during this window.

The striker was given a shot in the first team after Gonzalo Higuaín’s departure but the club are said to be less than impressed with the Italian this season and could cash in for as little as €15million. It was thought Everton had a £25million bid accepted in the summer before Napoli pulled out of a deal.

After failing to complete a deal for Gabbiadini, Everton turned their attentions to Enner Valencia late on deadline day. The Ecuadorian has failed to impress boss Ronald Koeman, while Arouna Kone remains injured and Oumar Niasse remains frozen out the squad.

With all three strikers potentially being shipped out in January, it is likely that Everton will look to seal a deal for at least one forward, with deals for Kasper Dolberg and Andrea Belotti also being mooted.
