Supporters of Everton have reacted to a transfer link that has been drawn between the club and Napoli attacker Hirving Lozano.
As reported by Corriere dello Sport, as cited by Area Napoli, the Toffees are interested in the Mexican and would have to pay €40 million (£33.8m) to get him, however, the club also has an interest in Dries Mertens and Jose Callejon.
Here’s what these fans had to say:
Everton are interested in Napoli forward Hirving Lozano. Napoli would be willing to sell the player but would ask for around €40m. Everton could also move for Dries Mertens and Jose Callejon in the summer when both of their contracts expire. (Source: Corriere dello Sport) #EFC pic.twitter.com/IM9ecZj9gV

Do you believe that there is any truth in the Hirving Lozano transfer rumours?No, they're completely false
Yes, could be some truth

However, this season, the former PSV Eindhoven winger has been in poor form, having scored only three goals and bagged two assists in 27 outings in all competitions (as per Transfermarkt).
Napoli paid £34M why would the make profit on that….would be lucky to get £20M for him. Its a non starter.

What do we think?
As well as his disappointing five goal involvements tally over 27 games this season (as per Transfermarkt), the Mexican 24-year-old only has an average rating of 6.48/10 (as per WhoScored).
However, Lozano still has a market value of £36 million and a contract until the summer of 2024 (per Transfermarkt), so if there is some truth, a deal of €40 million (£33.8m) may not be all that bad.
