Everton are set for plenty of competition for the signing of rumoured transfer target Gabigol – real name Gabriel Barbosa.
According to Premium Sport‘s Andersinho Marques, the striker is wanted by as many as four clubs in his homeland of Brazil.
He is thought to be keen on making the grade at current club Inter Milan, but they are looking to offload him, in order to bring in another non-EU signing.
The 22-year-old has made just 10 appearances and scored one goal for Inter to date.
Gabigol joined from Santos in 2016 but was loaned out to Benfica last season, and is now back at Santos on a temporary basis.
Everton are believed to be in the running for his signature, with Marco Silva looking to add more flair to the Blues’ attack.
They reportedly held talks with the player’s agent, Kia Joorabchian, as did West Ham.
A January move is being mooted, with Gabigol supposedly submitting a request for a work permit to play in the Premier League.
The battle for his signature looks likely to be interesting in the coming weeks.
