West Ham United wanted to bring in Bernard, but it seems that the 25-year-old is set to sign for Everton instead.
Everton are all set to complete a deal for the Brazilian today, on a contract worth around £150,000-a-week.
West Ham were also keen on the playmaker, who is available on a free transfer.
However, Bernard has decided that Everton were the better choice, leaving West Ham having to look for other targets.
Everton have been fairly quiet in the transfer window so far, but the additions of Lucas Digne, Bernard and Richarlison are all impressive.
West Ham have also enjoyed an excellent transfer window, with Manuel Pellegrini’s side bringing a host of new players to bolster their squad.
Bernard will be in competition with the likes of Richarlison and Gylfi Sigurdsson upon his move to Goodison Park.
