Everton are reportedly not prepared to allow Moise Kean to leave the club during the January transfer window despite the forward's struggles at Goodison Park.
The Toffees secured an eye-catching deal for the 19-year-old during the summer, spending just over £25m to bring the Italy international in from Juventus.
Kean has failed to score in any of his 11 appearances for the Merseyside club, though, and has drawn a blank in his nine Premier League outings thus far.
There have been suggestions that the attacker could return to Serie A at the start of 2020.
However, according to Calciomercato, Everton have no plans to offload the Italian as they are still confident that he will come good once he has settled into English football.
Kean managed eight goals in 21 appearances for Juve before arriving in the Premier League.
