AC Milan have dashed Everton's hopes of landing French striker M'Baye Niang in January.
The 17-year-old rejected the Toffees in order to sign for the Rossoneri in the summer, but reports surfaced last week suggesting that Niang could already be on his way out.
However, Gazzetta dello Sport have now reported that Milan have big plans for the highly-rated youngster.
Niang was one of four players banned from international duty with France for one year after breaking curfew while on Under-21 duty.
