AC Milan are growing increasingly confident of signing Gerard Deulofeu from Everton.

GianlucaDiMarzio.com is reporting that the Rossoneri are sitting and waiting with confidence that they can land the Spanish winger from the Toffees this month.

With reports in England indicating Everton have agreed a £22million fee with Manchester United for midfielder Morgan Schneiderlin, Milan believe they will now be able to get Deulofeu from Goodison Park.

The Serie A club feel Ronald Koeman will allow Deulofeu, who has appeared 13 times this season, to leave Goodison Park once the capture of former Southampton star Schneiderlin is complete.
