The agent of Lille defender Gabriel has confirmed the interest of Everton.

His representative Fernando Garcia believes a decision could be made on the 22-year-old as early as this week.

“Everton made a proposal to Lille at first, while Napoli made it later," Garcia told Area Napoli.

"Gabriel likes Napoli as a club and Gennaro Gattuso as a coach.

“We are waiting for Lille to let us know if they intend to continue [with Gabriel]. [The decision could come] in a few days, but in reality, I can't say when exactly."
