Everton have been boosted to secure their first signing in January after the Everton Soares transfer saga has taken a positive spin in favour of the Toffees.
The Toffees have been following the Brazilian forward closely for a long time, with ESPN reporting earlier this month that Carlo Ancelotti had spoken to the player himself.
Now the Daily Star are reporting (h/t Zero Hora) that Everton are close to sealing the signing of Soares.
The report claims that the agent of the Gremio attacker, Gilmar Veloz, is set to fly to Liverpool to hold talks with Everton, and that the deal is “very close” to being completed.
