Everton will reportedly have to fight off competition from Paris Saint-Germain if they want to sign Napoli midfielder Allan during this summer's transfer window.

The Toffees are believed to have identified the 29-year-old as a leading target ahead of the 2020-21 season.

Allan's contract with Gennaro Gattuso's side runs until the 2022-23 campaign, but there have been suggestions that the Brazilian could be allowed to leave Naples this summer.

Everton boss Carlo Ancelotti allegedly views Allan as the ideal player to boost his midfield, having worked with the South American at Napoli between 2018 and 2019.

However, according to Corriere dello Sport, the Merseyside giants will have to hold off competition from the French champions, who are also keen on a summer deal.

Allan has scored once and provided one assist in 24 outings at club level this season.
