Fans of Everton have been left in disbelief after a transfer rumour linked the Toffees with a move for Lazio’s Ciro Immobile.

According to TEAMtalk, Carlo Ancelotti’s side has asked if the Serie A club would take Moise Kean as part of a deal to bring Immobile to Merseyside (via @TheGwladysSt), which had fans in disbelief.

To kick off this quiz on the goings-on with the Toffees last week, which Premier League midfielder were Everton linked with late in the week?

Who would you rather have as the starting striker for Everton next season?

So far this season, Immobile has been the best-performing player for his Serie A side in the league with a whopping 7.7/10 average rating after scoring 27 goals and bagging seven assists in 26 appearances (per WhoScored).

Kean, meanwhile, has been the third-worst performer for the Toffees with a 6.3/10 after scoring once and assisting twice in 22 outings (per WhoScored), however, Everton fans still did not believe the rumour.

What do we think?

Despite the ten-year age gap between the two players, to swap a younger player with one league goal this season for an older one with 27 league goals seems a little far fetched.

However, it seems that Everton fans are unhappy with this one as they would not want to see a promising youngster shipped out to bring in a much older player despite Immobile’s clearly far superior goalscoring record.
