Reports in Italy suggest that the agent of Italian striker Manolo Gabbiadini has flown to Merseyside to discuss terms with Everton.

Gabbiadini, who has scored 20 goals in 60 appearances since signing for Napoli in 2014 from Sampdoria has been linked with a move to Goodison Park over the last couple of days, and now it is reported that his agent is on Merseyside to speak with the Blues.

A versatile and hardworking forward, Gabbiadini can play anywhere along the front line and on either flank as an out and out winger, although as a naturally left footed forward he prefers to cut in from the right.

The reports in Italy suggest a fee of around £25m which would represent Napoli doubling the fee they paid for him two years ago.
