Everton line up Serie A star, Atleti Coach's son to replace Chelsea target
The Genoa star is being lined up by Everton as a potential replacement for Romelu Lukaku. The Belgian star refused to sign a new deal with the Toffees two days ago, despite agent Mino Raiola claiming weeks ago that an agreement was “99.9999%” done.
With Chelsea, Juventus, PSG and Bayern chasing the Belgian, Everton have to look for a Plan B, and Simeone, the scorer of ten Serie A goals, has been lined up as a potential suitor.
The son of Atletico Coach and Argentine legend Diego Simeone, El Cholito has had a sensational maiden season in Serie A, flashing his skills, temperament and work-rate at the Marassi stadium.
He wouldn’t be the first Serie A man to become a huge success in England, Manolo Gabbiadini striking gold after his January move to Southampton.
