Everton have scored 15 goals in 19 league matches and their poor goalscoring record has seen them languish in the relegation zone.
In order to change the trend, the Toffees want to immediately bring in a new centre forward in the winter market.
Earlier today, Gianluca Di Marzio reported Everton will make an offer to Atalanta for Duván Zapata.
TuttoMercatoWeb back this up, but add the Merseyside club’s loan with an option to buy offer for Zapata was turned down by Atalanta.
Everton ‘want’ the former West Ham United man in January, and the website adds they have ‘already made contacts’ through intermediaries to bring the 33-year-old to Goodison Park.
Arnautović picked up an injury at the start of this month and is expected to be on the sidelines until the end of January.
He has eight goals and one assists from 16 matches this season for the Serie A side, and the Austrian’s Premier League experience could help Everton if they end up signing him.
TMW also mention Everton made an offer for Udinese’s Beto, but it was turned down by the Italian club.
