The report says that the Poland international is much-admired in the Premier League in general, but that the 60-year-old could request the Toffees to target the 25-year-old when he takes charge at Goodison Park.

However, Calciomercato does say that there is little chance that the player who has scored 21 goals and provided a further 10 assists in 164 games for the Serie A outfit will be leaving anytime soon, with Ancelotti’s successor in Naples Gennaro Gattuso already short of central midfield options for his preferred 4-3-3 system.
The Everton transfer rumours already seem to be building with the Italian on the brink of being named as Marco Silva’s successor, and many fans of the Merseyside outfit are certainly enamoured by this link.
One went as far as saying bringing the Pole to Goodison “would be our best signing in years”.
Others used the report to focus on the club’s transfer business as a whole, acknowledging the quality of player they appear to be targeting.
One individual simply said with the January transfer window just over a week away, “let the fun begin”. They’re right to say that, as it looks like it might well be an interesting one for the blue half of Merseyside if Farhad Moshiri is to back Ancelotti straight away.
Others decided to compare Zielinski to members of the squad they already have, with two suggesting he is better than Gylfi Sigurdsson, and another even claiming he would be an upgrade on Andre Gomes.
