Everton keen on Juventus starlet

Premier League strugglers Everton are considering a move for Juventus goalkeeper Norberto Neto, according to Tuttosport.

The Toffees are in the market for a new shot-stopper as Tim Howard has agreed to join Colorado Rapids, and they have so far been linked with Steve Mandanda and Loris Karius, who ended up signing for their Merseyside rivals Liverpool.

Reports from Italy suggest that Everton are also keeping close tabs on Juventus goalkeeper Norberto Neto, who is widely expected to leave Turin in the summer transfer window.

The 26-year-old joined Juventus on a free transfer from rivals Fiorentina last summer as the club officials believed he could take over from Gianluigi Buffon when the veteran ended his playing career.

However, Neto has largely struggled for form since joining the Bianconeri and it is widely believed that he will be allowed to leave the club at the end of the current campaign.
