TOP STORY: Arsenal gunning for Everton

Brazil international Everton has revealed he has an offer on the table, but the tease hasn't disclosed which club it is that's keen on signing him.

Everton was one of the stars of Brazil's successful Copa America campaign and scored in the final in a 3-1 win against Peru. His performances have brought him to the attention of some of Europe's top clubs, and the Mirror is suggesting Arsenal could be the club leading the race for his signature.

It says that AC Milan and Atletico Madrid are also keen to sign the 23-year-old, though Everton himself has said recently that he expects to be playing for Gremio when they play Bahia in the Copa Do Brazil on Wednesday.

Arsenal have made only one signing this summer so far, recruiting 18-year-old forward Gabriel Martinelli from Ituano, with transfer fees appearing to be the Gunners' biggest hindrance.

However, Everton is unlikely to command a huge fee at this stage of his career, and so he could fit into the Gunners' pay structure, though it depends on whether they can complete the signing of Kieran Tierney from Celtic on their budget.
