The 27-year-old scored 11 goals and picked up six assists across all competitions for Lazio last season and he helped his country win the Copa America as well.
Correa is a versatile forward who can operate as the striker as well as a winger and his arrival will offer Rafael Benitez some much needed tactical flexibility.
Furthermore, his ability to play multiple positions in the attack will also be a bonus.
Currently, the Toffees are reliant on Richarlison and Dominic Calvert-Lewin for goals. Adding another quality forward could complete their attacking trio for the season.
Correa has proven his quality in the Italian league and the chance to move to the Premier League could be tempting for the player.
Everton will be hoping to push for European qualification this season and they will need to add quality and depth to their squad in order for that to happen.
