Everton's Italian scout Carlo Jacomuzzi admits they're chasing several Serie A stars.

Blues director of football Steve Walsh has been spotted in Milan yesterday and Jacomuzzi says AC Milan pair Carlos Bacca and Cristian Zapata are of interest.

He told Radio Crc: “Bacca and Zapata have interesting profiles, but [a move] for one would exclude the other.

“These days we will talk with AC Milan, Fiorentina, Napoli and other teams - we'll see if anything happens.

“We followed Dries Mertens and had spoken to his agent but that idea has now waned. Faouzi Ghoulam? Another dead end - he is now staying in Naples.

“The 25 million that [Napoli president] Aurelio De Laurentiis asks for Zapata is too high, however everyone has the right to ask for what they want.

“This day we will have talks with several Italian teams, we talked with Milan, then we will also talk with Inter and Napoli.

“He could be an ideal player for the Premier League."
