According to Daily Mail, Marcel Brands wants to sign two forwards at the end of this season and Leao is one of them.
The highly rated forward has been likened to the French superstar Kylian Mbappe because of his playing style.
Leao is blessed with abundant pace and flair. He can operate as a left wide forward as well as a striker.
His arrival will add more unpredictability and quality to Marco Silva’s attack. The Toffees have struggled going forward this season.
The likes of Tosun, Walcott and Bernard haven’t quite managed to perform at the desired level.
