Carlo Ancelotti ‘could convince’ Everton to secure Hirving Lozano transfer

Carlo Ancelotti ‘could convince’ Everton to launch a bid for Napoli ace Hirving Lozano in the summer transfer window, according to reports in Italy.

Lozano, 24, completed a £35m move to Napoli back in the summer having scored 21 goals in 40 appearances for PSV Eindhoven last season.

He has struggled to replicate that solid goalscoring form in Italy, nevertheless, finding the back of the net just three times in 22 appearances for the Serie A outfit so far.

And Tuttomercatoweb claim Lozano is likely to leave the San Paolo Stadium at the end of the campaign.

Toffees boss Ancelotti worked with Lozano for almost three months before he was dismissed by Napoli at the start of December.

According to journalist Niccolo Ceccarini, the 60-year-old could persuade Everton chiefs to bring ‘Chucky’ to Goodison Park this summer.
