Tottenham Hotspur are reportedly keen on Everton Soares.
According to Sky Sports, Tottenham Hotspur are interested in signing Gremio attacker Everton Soares after a recent scouting trip to Brazil.
Spurs have endured a difficult start to the season, meaning Mauricio Pochettino may well be in the market for new additions come January.
Right back and holding midfield are two areas Spurs should be looking at, but an attacker in South America appears to have become a target.
It’s claimed that scout Steve Hitchen recently went to watch Flamengo take on Gremio in the Copa Libertadores, and Gremio talent Everton caught his attention.
The 23-year-old has hit 12 goals and six assists this season, having racked up 16 goals in all competitions last year.
Everton featured for Brazil at Copa America, filling in for Neymar down the left flank, and Goal even note that he has been compared to Neymar by some.
No player scored more goals than Everton at Copa America, which sparked major interest over the summer, but no club were able to strike a deal.
Tottenham may hope for better luck in January, with Hitchen suitably impressed and pushing for Pochettino to target him, with Spurs possibly hoping that he will be the next Richarlison or Gabriel Jesus in making an immediate impact coming from Brazil.
