Everton action now makes sense after definitive Jonathan Rowe transfer response

Everton have an answer to their pursuit of Bologna forward Jonathan Rowe after making an offer.

The Toffees made a bid for the 23-year-old, who was a key player for the Serie A club last season.

With David Moyes looking for reinforcements this transfer window, the left-winger has emerged on the Blues' radar.

The Hill Dickinson Stadium are clearly serious about signing Rowe after tabling £30million for him.

Going into next season, the Scottish manager faces uncertainty over his attackers, with Jack Grealish returning to Manchester City and speculation around Iliman Ndiaye's future.

It isn't surprising to see the Merseyside outfit assess their options and they now have a definitive response from one of their options.

Jonathan Rowe speaks out after Everton offer

Bologna have seen the Toffees knock on their door for Rowe, but have rejected the offer.

The Blues certainly have a choice to go in with improved terms to sign the English attacker from the Italian club, but that may be of no use.

Rowe has come out and explicitly stated that he's committed to the project at Stadio Renato Dall'Ara.

As things stand, the winger doesn't appear to have any intention of leaving the Rossoblu and has dismissed talks of his departure.

Speaking to La Gazzetta dello Sport on 8 August, the forward said, "Now I'm a Bologna player, this is a great club with clear ideas and a new project I'm 100 per cent focused on. I feel part of this world, I don't think about anything else and I'm not interested in anything else.

Why new development at Hill Dickinson Stadium makes perfect sense

It's easy to see why Everton have moved on to other targets after facing disappointment in their pursuit of Rowe.

The Hill Dickinson Stadium hierarchy already have another option lined up to bolster Moyes's attack.

Recent reports have suggested that a swap deal between Dwight McNeil and Brennan Johnson could be on the cards at the Toffees.

The former Tottenham Hotspur attacker has been made available by Crystal Palace, having signed at Selhurst Park in January.

While fans have been frustrated with the lack of business at the Merseyside outfit, the 25-year-old Wales international could be on his way to L3.
