Incoming Everton boss Ronald Koeman is planning to recruit the services of Graziano Pelle, according to reports emerging out of Italy

Pelle has not yet signed an extension to his contract at Southampton which expires at the end of the upcoming campaign and it looks all but certain that the Italian international will be leaving the St. Mary’s Stadium this summer.

A move back to Italy with the likes of Lazio or Juventus has been seen on the cards for Pelle, while a stay in the Premier League has also not been ruled out.

Now according to reports emerging out of Italy, it has been revealed that incoming Everton boss Ronald Koeman is keen on reuniting with Pelle at Goodison Park.

The Dutch manager was the man who brought Pelle to England two seasons ago at Southampton and the two enjoyed a very good relationship at the South Coast of England.

As Koeman looks to start his revolution at Everton, he is looking to strengthen the attack and has reportedly shortlisted Pelle as one of his main targets.

Pelle scored 11 goals as well as provided 5 assists last season and he could well prove to be a more than capable short term replacement for the wantaway Romelu Lukaku.
