Brazil forward Everton Soares could leave Gremio for the Premier League with West Ham and Manchester United reportedly interested.
West Ham United are interested in signing the Brazilian international Everton Soares from Gremio, according to Calciomercato.
A 23-year-old forward who can play anywhere across the front line, Everton scored 16 goals for Gremio in the 2018 campaign and managed to force his way into Tite’s Brazil squad as a result.
He has earned all his four caps for the five-time World champions since the start of last year with the youngster forming a key part of Brazil’s plans after their disappointing World Cup campaign.
According to Calciomercato, Everton could now make the plunge and swap South America for Europe in the upcoming transfer window. Roma have made contact while Manchester United have expressed an interest.
As have another Premier League club, West Ham. Everton has a release clause in his contract standing at £51 million but it is claimed that they would be willing to accept offers in and around £25.8 million instead.
If West Ham get their man, Everton would link up with his Brazil teammate Felipe Anderson at the London Stadium while forming a potentially thrilling attacking partnership.
Everton has also been heavily linked with Manchester City with Pep Guardiola’s side offering £55 million in January, as reported by ESPN.
