The only thing keeping the Toffees out of last place in the Premier League standings during their terrible run of play is goal differential. They intend to improve by making additions throughout the transfer period, and this month, striker is one of the positions they want to fill. Atalanta star Duvan Zapata is a target for Everton, but it doesn't appear like they will be allowed to loan him out. The Toffees have now selected Arnautovic as a target, according to Italian publication Tutto Mercato, although they are still keeping an eye on Serie A.
As they look to strike a deal to bring the former West Ham United star to Goodison Park, Everton and the player's agents have already initiated contact. Beto of Udinese is another Serie A striker who Everton is reportedly interested in, although the Italians are rumoured to have rejected an offer for him.
