Empoli striker Francesco Tavano is reportedly being pursued by a host of clubs across Europe.
Having bagged an impressive 16 goals this term Tavano is emerging as one of Serie A's most promising talents and his efforts have clearly been noticed elsewhere.
Empoli have moved quickly to tie the player to a deal until 2009 but with Roma, Internazionale and Fiorentina all circling, they will do well to retain the player's services.
In January Ukrainian outfit Shaktar Donetsk were reported to have offered in the region of €10 million but saw their efforts to land the powerful forward thwarted.
The Italian press are also reporting that Liverpool, Bayern Munich, Hamburg and Valencia have also had the player watched in recent weeks.
