Everton are lining up a move for AC Milan forward Stephan El Shaarawy in a bid to replace Samuel Eto'o, according to reports.
The 22-year-old Italy international exploded onto the scene in Serie A several seasons ago, but has found himself struggling at the San Siro of late.
According to the Liverpool Echo, the Toffees - who have seen Eto'o move to Sampdoria this week - have been in contact with Milan over a deal for El Shaarawy.
The Savona-born youngster has also allegedly been courted by Roma during this month's transfer window.
