The Toffees have recently appointed a new manager in the three-time Champions League winner Carlo Ancelotti and have won back-to-back games under his tenure.
The 24-year-old recently joined the Serie A giants from Paris Saint-Germain after his contract expired at the Parc des Princes.
He scored 24 goals in 227 appearances for the French side and has only played on 12 separate occasions for the Turin based outfit.

Loan till the end of the season would be sound
