Arsenal and Paris Saint-Germain have both made enquiries for Gremio winger Everton, according to reports in Brazil.
The 23-year-old had an outstanding Copa America for the host nation and has been linked with the likes of Manchester City and Manchester United in recent days.
However, it appears the Gunners have also registered an interest in Everton, although it is believed that no formal bid has been made yet.
Fans on Twitter believe the Brazilian international could be a viable alternative to Crystal Palace’s Wilfried Zaha:
Better than Zaha!

With the Eagles said to be demanding £80m or more for Zaha, a cheaper option may need to be found. Everton could be available for close to Arsenal’s original £40m bid that was rejected by Palace and he is likely to be open to a move to Europe.
The winger has been pretty prolific in recent seasons, scoring 16 for Gremio last campaign and beginning this campaign with six goals in 12 appearances.
At the Copa America, he scored three goals, including one in the final against Peru, and also provided two assists.
