Giovanni Simeone on Villarreal radar

Fiorentina striker Giovanni Simeone is on the radar of La Liga high flyers Villarreal, according to Il Corriere dello Sport.

The highly rated footballer only joined Viola in the summer, but he is again being linked with a big club move.

Many people were surprised to see Simeone choose struggling Fiorentina among a host of top clubs that were after his signature, but his suitors are not yet ready to give up.

Everton and Villarreal are some of the clubs that have shown interest in recent weeks, meaning that Fiorentina face a real battle to keep hold of their prized possession.

After scoring 12 league goals for Genoa last term, Simeone netted 4 times in 12 Serie A outings this season.
