Everton are reportedly keen on Como attacker Assane Diao and have inquired about bringing him to the Hill Dickinson Stadium club.
Everton manager David Moyes has been trying to sign a forward all summer, bringing Brennan Johnson from Crystal Palace to the club in a swap deal for Dwight McNeil last week.
The Toffees boss is now looking to add another player in the position, and Diao has emerged as a target.
The 20-year-old Senegal international was at the World Cup with his country, making one appearance.
The Everton target played 17 Serie A games last term, weighing in with two goals and one assist.
Diao notched eight goals and one assist in 15 Serie A games in 2024-25, and the former Real Betis forward could be perfect for the Merseyside club.
The youngster boasts huge potential, and Moyes loves working with such players.
It is unknown whether a concrete move is on the cards, but Diao will prefer joining a club where he is guaranteed regular playing opportunities should he leave Como.
Everton have been unable to get a deal for Manchester City attacker Jack Grealish over the line and are looking at other options.
