Everton Reportedly Told to Cough Up £17m After Scouting Versatile Éder Militão in Portugal

FC Porto defender Éder Militão has been slapped with a £17m price tag by the Portuguese giants after representatives from Premier League side Everton were in attendance to watch the youngster twice in as many weeks, according to reports.

The Toffees sent some of their top scouts to see the 20-year-old in action during Porto's Champions League group stage opener against Schalke 04. Everton also had eyes in that stands during the Dragões' 2-0 win over Vitória de Setúbal on Saturday.

Brazilian news outlet UOL claims that Porto have already caught wind of Everton's interest in Militão and have slapped a £17m price tag on the defender.
