Everton named as potential destination for Gabigol in January

Everton appear to be in the running to sign on-loan Santos striker Gabigol in the January transfer window.

According to Goal Brazil, Everton, West Ham and Crystal Palace have all emerged as contenders to sign the player after an impressive season.

The striker is said to be keen on a move to the Premier League after previously failing to impress at Inter.

Well-connected agent Kia Joorabchian is believed to be the man pulling the strings behind the scenes, with Gabigol looking to engineer a move to England during the January window.

Crystal Palace have been linked recently, but they are now set to face Premier League competition.

Gabigol has always been very highly thought of back in Brazil and has long been linked with a big European move.

After failing to show his best form at Inter, he returned to Santos on loan and he has scored 16 goals this season in the Brazilian league.
