Everton target William Carvalho will be allowed to leave Sporting Lisbon this summer, according to reports.
Sky claim both the Portuguese club and player's representatives are now actively seeking a transfer for the 26-year-old, with the ideal destination being a Premier League side.
The Toffees' new boss Marco Silva previously managed Carvalho during his season in charge at Sporting, hence why links have arisen regarding a potential move to Goodison Park.
West Ham pulled out of a deal to sign the midfielder last summer, citing concerns over the player's fitness as the reason.
