Vitor Pereira was in London on Tuesday night as he emerges as the leading contender to become Everton’s new manager.
The Portuguese boss was in the capital for talks with the Toffees about replacing Rafa Benitez, who was sacked earlier this month.
MailOnline were first to reveal on Sunday that Pereira had become a serious contender for the Everton vacancy.
A deal for Pereira to take the reins at Goodison Park is now set to accelerate, with sources claiming that only a late U-turn would prevent the Portuguese from becoming the club’s new manager.
