Everton fans are impatiently waiting an announcement on Andre Gomes.

The Mirror claimed last week that the Portugal international had turned down a move to West Ham United and decided to re-join Everton instead.

The Barcelona-owned midfielder dazzled at Goodison Park during a season-long loan last term.

Everton’s official Twitter account highlighted Portugal day this afternoon, and some fans of the Merseyside club thought it was an announcement about signing the 25-year-old.

Gomes might be Everton’s best signing of the summer, if it happens.

Yes, he was a tad inconsistent last term, but the quality is most definitely there and if Marco Silva can get him impressing on a regular basis then it’ll be a superb addition by the Portuguese manager.

That being said, he would have to improve his goalscoring. Scoring once in 27 Premier League outings isn’t an outstanding return and if he heads back to Goodison, that’s an area for improvement.
