Manchester City and West Ham United are two Premier League sides reportedly interested in signing Gremio’s Brazil international Everton.
Manchester City have renewed their interest in Gremio ace Everton as they look to bring the Brazilian international to the Etihad Stadium in the summer, as reported by Globo Esporte.
The 23-year-old forward exploded on to the scene in 2018 with 16 goals for Gremio, an impressive tally that earned him a regular place in the Brazil squad as national team coach Tite shuffled his pack after a disappointing World Cup campaign.
ESPN reported in January that Manchester City had made a £55 million bid for Everton, a versatile forward who can play anywhere across the front line.
Globo Esporte believes that Pep Guardiola’s side are still interested.
The Premier League champions have reportedly held talks with Gremio, who are resigned to losing their star man eventually but still harbour hopes that he will stay in Brazil until the end of the season in December.
Calciomercato reported last week that West Ham United are also big fans of Everton, who is valued at £25.8 million and plays alongside Felipe Anderson for Brazil.
West Ham would be pulling off a huge coup landing the youngster, not just because he is a very exciting talent but because Manchester City appear to be stepping up their interest.
