Everton are set to snap up Bernard, with Marco Silva adding further quality to his attacking options at Goodison Park.
Everton have reportedly beaten off competition to sign Bernard, as Marco Silva strengthens his attacking options even further.
The playmaker was highly in demand after his contract at Shakhtar Donetsk expired.
However, Everton have almost sealed the deal for the attacking midfielder now, and the addition of Richarlison reportedly played a big role in the transfer.
Bernard is reportedly excited to link up with Richarlison, as he has been impressed by his fellow Brazilian.
Bernard and Richarlison could both start in the advanced positions for Silva’s side, with the pair likely to be tasked with supplying Cenk Tosun with chances.
Everton begin their campaign at the weekend against Wolverhampton Wanderers, although it seems unlikely that Bernard will play in that fixture.
