Everton are reportedly keen on Porto ace Yacine Brahimi.
According to The Mirror, Everton are back in the market for Porto winger Yacine Brahimi this month after scouting him on Monday night.
The Toffees haven’t done any incoming business so far this month, and aren’t really expected to given their busy summer transfer window.
However, Everton sent a scout to watch Porto take on Nacional on Monday night, with Porto claiming a 3-1 win thanks to a brace from wide man Brahimi.
The Mirror now report that Everton were there to see Brahimi in action, and could launch a cut-price move for the Algerian in this month’s transfer window.
The 28-year-old is something of a contract rebel at the Estadio do Dragao, as he becomes a free agent at the end of the season and seemingly isn’t interested in extending his Porto contract.
That means that clubs may now look to offer a cut-price deal to Porto, attempting to lure them into taking a small amount of cash rather than absolutely nothing in a few months.
Everton director of football Marcel Brands may now pounce to bring the skilful wide man to Goodison Park, around two-and-a-half years since Brahimi was first targeted by Everton.
As noted by The Mirror, Brands’ predecessor Steve Walsh launched a £34million move for Brahimi in August 2016, but Porto snubbed that offer and kept him instead.
Brands may now finally land Brahimi for a much, much cheaper fee this month, adding another creative force to Marco Silva’s side, who are struggling for goals at home right now.
