Everton are already putting in the hard yards to locating potential signings in the summer with scouts all over Europe keeping an eye on talents.
Reports in Italy claim that Ronald Koeman will send a scout to Italy after the international break to watch Sampdoria vs. Inter Milan in Serie A, specifically keying in on Sampdoria trio Lucas Torreira, Dennis Praet and Patrik Schick.
Midfielders Torreira and Praet are both two very talented young midfielders and central midfield is an area where Everton do lack depth and youth it could be argued.
Given the uncertain future of Ross Barkley, bringing in another set of legs as a contingency plan makes sense.
Schick, a striker by trade, arrived in Italy last summer from Sparta Praha and has enjoyed a great start to life in front of goal, scoring seven goals in 23 Serie A appearances despite only making five starts in the league.
Inter Milan and Chelsea are both also reportedly interested in the 21-year-old forward.
