Everton have revived their bid to sign Che Adams and made an offer worth £12million to Southampton.
The Scotland international has been a target for Crystal Palace, Bournemouth and Fulham this window.
The 27-year old has scored two goals in three games so far this season.
Scotland international Adams wants a move back to the Premier League after Southampton were relegated last season.
Everton have already made four signings this window in the form of Ashley Young, Youssef Chermiti, Arnaut Danjuma and Jack Harrison.
Everton Sean Dyche is keen to boost his attacking options.
Wilfried Gnonto is training alone at Leeds United’s Thorp Arch as he pushes for a move to Goodison Park.
The Italy international refused to play for Leeds last week in their Carabao Cup tie with Shrewsbury Town and said he still wasn’t in the right frame of mind to travel for their Championship game at Birmingham City on Saturday.
Leeds have told Gnonto they don’t want to sell him despite Everton making bids in excess of £15million earlier this summer.
That has upset the 19-year old and his representatives as he wants to return to the top-flight to stay in with a chance of retaining his place in the Italy squad for the European Championships.
