Everton table bid for Manolo Gabbiadini

Everton have made a 30 million euro bid for Italian international striker Manolo Gabbiadini, according to reports from Italy. The 24-year-old striker currently plays for Serie A side Napoli.

The impressive forward has a 30 million euro release clause in his contract and had also been linked with a move to Real Madrid in recent months, but a deal to Spain fell through. The 6 foot 1 striker has a wealth of experience at the highest level in Italy, playing for Sampdoria, Bologna and Atalanta before he made the move to Napoli in 2015.

Everton will have to move quickly to snap up Gabbiadini though, as the Naples based side are looking for a long term replacement for Gonzalo Higuain, who joined rivals Juventus this month.
