Everton have identified Napoli-owned striker Duvan Zapata as the heir to Romelu Lukaku, claims Sportitalia.

According to Sportitalia, Everton intermediaries are in contact with Napoli and laying the groundwork for a bid.

The Partenopei want €20m for the 26-year-old, who spent the last two seasons on loan with Udinese.
