With Romelu Lukaku's transfer to Manchester United now confirmed, the media have moved on to speculating over who might replace him at Everton.
A report in Italy suggests that the Blues have shown an interest in Roma striker Edin Dzeko who would be a more popular choice among Evertonians and a good foil for the quicker, more mobile Sandro.
Meanwhile, ex-Liverpool striker Christian Benteke is another name being linked as potential successor to his compatriot at Goodison Park.
The Belgian, once likened along with Lukaku by former Belgian boss Marc Wilmots to a lamp post, has had a successful spell at Crystal Palace after a slow start and an even less profitable time at Anfield.
Both players would likely fetch around £30m.
