Everton are reportedly preparing a £14m move for Inter Milan midfielder Mateo Kovacic at the end of the season.
The 20-year-old joined Inter from Dinamo Zagreb in 2013 and has developed into one of the most exciting youngsters in European football.
A number of clubs are believed to hold a strong interest in the Croatian, but according to Sportske Novosti, Everton are confident that they can entice the youngster to Goodison Park this summer.
Kovacic, who mainly operates in an advanced midfield position, has scored eight times in 29 games for Inter this season.
