Everton 'in the hunt' for Davide Frattesi as Sassuolo 'recieve offers' for midfielder

Everton are reportedly one of several Premier League sides looking at Sassuolo midfielder Davide Frattesi.

The 23-year-old is also said to be targeted by Juventus after his performances have earned interest from the Serie A giants. It's been reported that he is currently valued around €35m (£31m) by Sassuolo, €10m more than what Maximiliano Allegri's side is reortedly willing to spend.

According to TuttoJuve, via Sport Witness, Sassuolo have had offers for Frattesi, and as well as the Blues, Brighton & Hove Albion and Leicester City are also in the hunt for the Italy international.

Frattesi has been impressive for the Italian side this season, and has scored five times in 21 games. Brighton’s interest comes as little surprise following the appointment of Roberto De Zerbi. Having lost Graham Potter to Chelsea, the Seagulls replaced him with De Zerbi, who left Sassuolo to take up the role.

Frattesi is a Roma academy graduate who joined Sassuolo in a £4.5million deal back in summer 2017. The links with Frattesi comes as Everton continue to be linked with a move for Isco.

The former Real Madrid star has been without a club since his contract with Sevilla was terminated by mutual agreement in late December. A proposed move to Union Berlin subsequently collapsed on deadline day

"Well I actually spoke about the idea of looking at the squad, not deciding whether it was good enough or not, just looking at it and working with the squad that we've got," Blues boss Sean Dyche said when asked about the midfielder.

"There are some very good players here. Players outside of that, we'll monitor that situation as we do and make a decision in due course. For the moment, we work with the squad that we've got."
