Everton 'planning summer move for Allan'

Everton are reportedly planning on reigniting their interest in Napoli midfielder Allan.

The Toffees were strongly linked with the Brazilian during the January transfer window but were unable to get a deal over the line before the deadline passed.

The 28-year-old, who has made 24 appearances for Gennaro Gattuso's side this season, has a contract in Naples until the end of the 2022-23 campaign.

However, according to Corriere dello Sport, Everton remain determined to bring the South American to Goodison Park, with head coach Carlo Ancelotti viewing him as the ideal player to boost his midfield.

Allan, who played under Ancelotti at Napoli between 2018 and 2019, has contributed one goal and one assist in 16 Serie A appearances this term.

Everton are also allegedly in 'advanced negotiations' with Real Madrid for the transfer of James Rodriguez.
