Everton plot sensational move for Napoli captain Lorenzo Insigne

Everton are being linked with a sensational move for Napoli captain Lorenzo Insigne.

Le 10 Sport says Everton boss Carlo Ancelotti would like to take his former Azzurri midfielder with him to Goodison Park.

While the pair didn't always see eye-to-eye, with family members of Insigne critical of Ancelotti while he was in charge of Napoli, it's suggested the midfielder could be tempted by an offer to move to England.

"My rapport with Ancelotti is a bit odd, as at times we have had rows, but that's all down to our respective personalities," Insigne stated earlier this season.

“Carlo remains an extraordinary Coach and I really hope to win with him. Over two years of training sessions, when I arrived late or irritable, at times I've responded to some of his observations, but these are incidents that start and end there, they don't get dragged on.

“Obviously, that's not all that happens, as I can joke around with the Coach too. Since he's been at the club, he has never forced me to take on a role I didn't want."
