Everton have won the race to sign Brazilian attacking midfielder Bernard on a free transfer from Shakhtar Donetsk.
The player was wanted by several other clubs around Europe, including the likes of Chelsea and West Ham in the Premier League. But Marco Silva has managed to convince him to join the Toffees, according to Sky Sports, who are reporting that the player is due for a medical in the next 24 hours.
Bernard was also thought to be a target for Serie A outfit AC Milan, and it was expected that he would move to the San Siro this summer.
