Naturally, with Ancelotti in charge, there has been plenty of speculation that he may go back to his former club Napoli to look for reinforcements for Everton.

Hirving Lozano is one name that has been regularly linked, with several reports in Italy suggesting Everton would be at the front of the queue should Napoli look to sell the Mexican in the summer.

“But players like Lozano, but also Zielinski, when they hear Ancelotti’s name, their hair stands on end.
