Carlo Ancelotti makes Isco admission after Everton defeat at Newcastle

Carlo Ancelotti was coy when asked about any interest from Everton in signing Real Madrid's Isco.

Reports over the weekend say that the playmaker will be made available for loan in the January and that the Blues had been sounded out about taking him.

Ancelotti worked with the 28-year-old during his time at Real but was giving little away when asked about any desire to be reunited with the player at Goodison.

Ancelotti said with a smile: "Isco is a fantastic player and [I have] a fantastic memory of him but now I am not, honestly, focused there.  I am focused on an important week we are going to have to recover players and to be well prepared for the game against United."

Everton are also routinely linked with Napoli's Polish striker Arkadiusz Milik with reports in Italy saying he hopes to leave the Serie A club this winter.
