Everton are linked with two France international midfielders in Wednesday's media.

Sport Witness points to reports in Italy's Corriere dello Sport that claim the Blues want to take Adrien Rabiot, 24, on loan from Juventus until the end of the season.

Witness, this time quoting Gazzetta dello Sport, also suggests Everton are monitoring another Serie A star in Roma's Steven Nzonzi.

Nzonzi, who spent time in the Premier League with Blackburn Rovers and Stoke City, is currently on loan in Turkey with Galatasaray, and Everton, West Ham United and Lyon are all said to be interested in the 31-year-old.

Rabiot is the owner of six French caps, with Nzonzi having represented the world champions on 14 occasions. 

Finally, the Liverpool Echo highlights quotes from Blues boss Carlo Ancelotti, who admits he has been impressed by teenager Anthony Gordon since his arrival at the Club and also discusses his plans to help get more Academy-developed talents into the first-team frame in future.
