AC Milan and Everton set for further talks over Gerard Deulofeu as Italian giants close in on Toffees forward

AC Milan will hold further talks with Everton on Tuesday about the proposed transfer of Gerard Deulofeu.

Everton would prefer to have another forward option signed before they allow the Spaniard to move on.

Deulofeu arrived at Goodison Park on loan from Barcelona in 2013, before returning to his parent club and subsequently being loaned to Sevilla the following season.
