On Monday, we relayed news from Italy that Everton are still in the mix to land Atalanta’s Duván Zapata after having failed signing him in the winter market.

It was also explained Torino have asked about the striker and must watch out for the Toffees in the transfer battle.

AS in Colombia have backed it up and focus on Torino’s interest in the 31-year-old, before further adding that he is followed by the Merseyside club and Fiorentina.

It’s recalled Everton and Southampton looked at the Colombia international in January, but they continue by explaining Sean Dyche’s side ‘still maintain an interest’ in signing the tall frontman in the summer.

Zapata will have a year left on his deal at the end of this season and it will be the Serie A side’s last big chance to cash in from his sale, if he refuses to sign an extension.

Although Everton are interested, their chances of securing the South American’s services will depend on them avoiding relegation.

The English club are currently 16th in the table and are one point ahead of West Ham United, who are in the 18th spot.
