Everton have been discouraged by Watford's asking price for star forward Ismaila Sarr, according to reports.
The Senegalese international is currently plying his trade in the Championship following the Hornets' relegation last season, but has just appeared at the World Cup in Qatar for his country, where they were eliminated 3-0 by England in the Round of 16.
Frank Lampard will be keen to improve his attacking options for the second half of the season and Sarr is reportedly eager on a move back to the Premier League next month. However, Italian outlet Tutto Udinese have suggested that the Blues have been scared off after a £35million price tag was reportedly put on the 24-year-old.
