EVERTON have reportedly entered the race for Roma winger Cengiz Under.
The Turkish international has also been on Arsenal’s radar – but the Toffees are ready to swoop in and bring the fleet-footed attacker to the Premier League.

The Goodison Park club have had an underwhelming first half of the season, even falling into the relegation zone after their 5-2 defeat at Liverpool.
But buoyed by the appointment of Carlo Ancelotti, they are ready to enter the market and back the experienced Italian.
And Bleacher Report claim that Everton have made contact with Under’s representatives to see if he is available this month.
The 22-year-old has fallen out of favour this season, having featured only seven times in Serie A for Roma, scoring once.
And they are willing to let him go for around £34million.
His one goal this season came in the opening day draw with Genoa.
An injury picked up soon after, however, derailed his season – and has seen him dramatically fall down the pecking order upon his return.
And with Theo Walcott often having underwhelmed Toffees fans, and Alex Iwobi potentially better off playing centrally, Under could be the ideal man to play on the right flank for Ancelotti’s Everton.

Tom Davies has recently had to do a job on the right of midfield.
While Gylfi Sigurdsson’s performances have shown signs of tailing off this season.
Arsenal have also been linked with Under in the past, but appear to have turned their attentions towards Thomas Lemar – as well as Merih Demiral and Nathan Ake.
