Everton will reportedly not give up on trying to sign Napoli striker Manolo Gabbiadini, despite having an offer knocked back by the Italian club.
Manager Ronald Koeman is believed to be on the hunt for a new forward due to the uncertainty surrounding Romelu Lukaku.
There is growing speculation that the Belgium international could leave Goodison Park either when the transfer window reopens next month or at the end of the season.
According to The Mirror, Gabbiadini is an attacking option for Everton, but the Premier League outfit's £14.5m bid was turned down, with the Serie A club holding out for a fee in the region of £20m.
The 25-year-old has struggled to set the world alight this season having scored just three goals in 15 appearances so far, but Everton are understood to be continuing their pursuit of the forward.
Gabbiadini joined Napoli from Sampdoria in 2015.
