Premier League club Everton are currently monitoring the situation of FC Porto’s attacking midfielder Yacine Brahimi, according to a report on HITC, who quote Portuguese news outlet O Jogo.
The midfielder can also operate as a winger and is the subject to interest from several Premier League sides.
Along with Everton, Newcastle United and West Ham United are also keeping tabs on the Algerian, whose current contract with Porto expires at the end of the season.
There has been no indication that Brahimi will extend his stay with the Portuguese club, which has alerted Everton to a possible move.
Brahimi inspired Porto to the Portuguese league title last season and has scored 44 goals for the club since joining them in 2014.
Everton are free to begin negotiating terms with the 28-year-old in January before a potential free transfer in the summer.
The Toffees’ manager Marco Silva looks likely to strengthen his squad in the new year and Brahimi looks like a top target for the Merseyside club.
