Everton boss Ronald Koeman is eager to reunite with Southampton striker Graziano Pelle at Goodison Park, according to the Daily Mail.

The Dutch manager has previously worked with the Italian striker at Feyenoord and Southampton.

Pelle only has one year left on his current deal with the Saints and is expected to leave the club this summer.

The Italy international is valued at £16million by the South Coast club which should not prove too much of an issue for the Toffees who are cashed up following the takeover of majority shareholder Farhad Moshiri.
