Everton-Bound Marco Silva Reportedly Wants Sporting CP Star to Be Toffee's First Summer Signing

Ahead of his highly anticipated appointment as Everton's new manager, Marco Silva is reportedly interested in bringing £40m rated William Carvalho from Sporting CP to Everton as the club's first summer signing.

With the Portugal star reportedly being keen on a move away from the Leoes, the side with whom he has spent the entirety of his career, and Silva being a keen admirer of the 26-year-old midfielder, it seems as though the Sporting CP man could be set for a move to Goodison Park in the coming days.

According to Portuguese news outlet A Bola, Silva would be keen to reunite with Carvalho following his short stint in the Estadio Jose Alvalade throughout the 2014/15 season, with the former Watford man ready to make the defensive midfielder his first acquisition as Everton boss.
