(Photo by Enrico Locci/Getty Images)](https://football-italia.net/norton-cuffy-targeted-by-everton-arsenal-genoa/) Everton are increasingly the favourites to sign Genoa full-back Brooke Norton-Cuffy, ahead of Fulham and Brentford, with Arsenal getting a cut of the deal expected to be worth €20m.
The right-back has impressed during his time at Marassi and was also linked with Inter as a potential replacement for Denzel Dumfries.
However, a return to England and the Premier League seems the most likely option for the 22-year-old.

According to Tuttomercatoweb, TEAMtalk and others, Everton are pushing the hardest to secure the player, who represented England at Under-21 level.
Tuttosport newspaper warn that the asking price to sell Norton-Cuffy is going to be around €20m.
A product of the Arsenal youth academy, he had loan spells at Lincoln City, Rotherham, Coventry City and Millwall before the €2m transfer to Genoa in the summer of 2024.
That agreement included a further €2m in potential add-ons and a cut of the future sale fee.
Curiously, the player has never managed a single appearance in the Premier League during his career, but now has 41 games in Serie A, contributing two goals and one assist.
