However given that Inter were quoted €16m for his services last year, the Dutchman may well be outwith the Gigliati's price range.

A 23-year-old centre forward, Van Wolfswinkel made his name in the Eredivisie with Utrecht before winning a €5.4m transfer to Sporting last summer. He was the fourth highest scorer in the Portuguese League last season, hitting 14 goals.
