Arsenal Transfer News: Gunners Face Yacine Brahimi Competition, Top Rumours

Arsenal could face competition from Premier League rivals Everton for reported transfer target Yacine Brahimi. The Gunners are said to be interested in the dynamic FC Porto winger, but reports state the Toffees have already opened talks for the £40 million-rated Algeria international.

Lyall Thomas of Sky Sports detailed Everton's interest, citing Sky sources:

It is understood the Toffees are very interested in the 26-year-old Algeria international and talks have progressed well.

However, Sky sources understand convincing the player to make the move to Goodison Park is proving more problematic because his preference is a move to one of England's Champions League clubs.
