Arkadiusz Milik remains on Everton's radar and Ronald Koeman is weighing up a move for the striker after missing out on Graziano Pellà¨.

Pellà¨ has turned down offers to stay in the Premier League and is on the verge of completing a lucrative transfer to China so the new Toffees boss is looking at alternative options to provide support up front.

Milik had already attracted attention for his goalscoring exploits in his first season with Ajax but was also a goalscorer at Euro2016 for Poland and he has become a sought-after player this summer.

The Amsterdam club's sporting director, Marc Overmars, says that the 22-year-old isn't for sale unless it was for a "monster" fee and even then not before next month's Champions League qualifiers. The Liverpool Echo claim, however, that Everton are prepared to meet Ajax's valuation in an effort to secure a player whom Koeman regards highly.

update 12 Jul Milik has committed his future to Ajax, with the Dutch club announcing that he will not be going anywhere this summer, putting an end, they hope, to further speculation.
