Everton are interested in a summer move for Roma hitman Patrik Schick, according to Italian outlet Tutto Mercato Web.

They report that the Serie A club are willing to offload the attacker this summer for a fee of 24 million euros (£20.6m) and the Toffees are keen on him to help ease their striking woes.

Marco Silva apparently faces competition from Bundesliga outfit RB Leipzig for his signature, as they potentially prepare for the departure of German international Timo Werner this summer.

There is also reportedly the prospect of a loan deal if a fee cannot be agreed, which indicates Roma’s willingness to do a deal.

He has just five goals and two assists this season, but remains a talented player and at just 23, still has plenty of time to improve.

That’s reflected in the excitement of some Everton fans on Twitter about the prospect of signing him – the Toffees just need a striker who can be relied upon to score goals…
