Gabriel comments on future amid Everton transfer link

Everton are looking to bolster their defence this summer, and have been heavily linked with a move for Brazilian defender Gabriel.

Earlier this week, French publication L’Equipe (h/t GFFN) claimed that three clubs have made a formal move to sign the Lille defender already.

The report claimed that one Italian and two English sides had already submitted bids for the centre-back. Everton are one of the clubs, and their bid is worth between €27m and €32m (roughly £30m) excluding bonuses. Leicester City are also interested in signing him.

He is wanted by a host of European clubs including AC Milan and Paris-Saint Germain, but it seems Everton are leading the race for his signature.
