The talent spotter explained that Napoli’s £25million price tag on their striker is too high.

He went on to name several other targets to an Italian radio station that now look unlikely, admitting the Premier League outfit were interested in Dries Mertens and Faouzi Ghoulam.

Jacomuzzi explained that the path to Mertens was “waned” and Ghoulam wanted to remain in Naples.

Now the Everton entourage are to meet with Inter Milan and “several other teams” in regards to striking possible deals for their players.

Among the names they are targeting are believed to be Ever Banega, M’Baye Niang and Marcelo Brozovic.

They look likely to get their first bit of summer transfer business over the line this week.
