PARIS SAINT-GERMAIN have reportedly opened talks with Everton over a second loan spell for Moise Kean.
Fabrizio Romano claims Mauricio Pochettino is keen for the Italian forward to return to France this summer.
Kean, 21, scored 17 goals in 41 appearances on loan at PSG last season.
And the Ligue 1 giants, eager to reclaim their crown from Lille, want Kean to continue playing a crucial supporting role to Kylian Mbappe and Neymar.
They hope the Toffees will allow Kean to depart for a second successive loan, while also giving them the option to buy the striker next summer.
Kean himself is eager to return to the French capital after falling out of favour under ex-Everton boss Carlo Ancelotti.
However, new Goodison Park chief Rafa Benitez will apparently have the final say.
He is currently taking stock of his squad after penning a deal with Everton this week.
And Benitez may feel Kean is best served remaining on Merseyside, especially as PSG are only offering a loan and not a permanent transfer.
The Spanish tactician already faces the prospect of losing England striker Dominic Calvert-Lewin.
And Colombian playmaker James Rodriguez is attracting interest from AC Milan.
However, SunSport understands Everton are ready to rival Arsenal for Brighton defender Ben White.
The centre-back, currently with England at the Euros, is valued by his club at £50million.
Arsenal are only offering £42m with an extra £6m in add-ons.
But Everton are ready to trump former player Mikel Arteta by handing Brighton the £50m, as well as a bonus package.
