EVERTON are on the verge of securing former Napoli boss Carlo Ancelotti as their new manager to replace Marco Silva.
The Italian is expected to be announced as the next permanent boss next week, taking over from caretaker Duncan Ferguson.
This is how Everton could line-up should Carlo Ancelotti become the new manager
Major shareholder Farhad Moshiri has fulfilled his promise of bringing in what he described as a “Hollywood manager”.
Moshiri has already forked out £440m in transfer fees — but has also assured Ancelotti that there will be plenty more where that came from.
The expected appointment of the 60-year-old, who has agreed a £14million deal, is set to to spark speculation about his potential signings over the next two transfer windows.
Former Manchester United striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic has already been linked with a move to Goodison Park.
The Swede is still without a club after his contract at LA Galaxy ended in November.
According to Daily Star, Ancelotti will look to raid his former club with Napoli midfielder Piotr Zielinski high up on his transfer targets.
The Polish midfielder has been a standout performer for Ancelotti’s old side and it has been reported in Italy that he could be open to a move to Merseyside.
Zielinski isn’t the only Napoli player that has been linked with teaming up with Ancelotti again.
Imposing defender Kalidou Koulibaly has also been the subject of speculation, linking him with a move to Goodison Park.
Ancelotti will need to see a fast improvement from the players if they are to drag themselves away from relegation danger.
They sit three points above the bottom three following a poor start to the season which saw Marco Silva lose his job two weeks ago.
Ferguson will continue in charge tomorrow when they face Arsenal, who have just appointed Mikel Arteta as their new manager.
