Everton boss Ancelotti closing on deal for Napoli striker Milik.

After a move to Roma fell through last week, Milik remains available from Napoli before next month's transfer deadline.

Tuttosport says Everton are now favourites for his signature, with former Napoli coach Ancelotti eager to set up a reunion.

The Blues, aware of competition from Tottenham, are willing to cough up €25m for Milik.

For his part, the Poland international is eager to make the move to England in the coming fortnight.
