Everton are maintaining a watching brief for Santos midfielder Yeferson Soteldo.

Santos president Jose Carlos Peres recently revealed that Everton hold an interest in Soteldo.

“Soteldo is a young player who has sensational skills," Carlos Peres told Calciomercato.com.

"He is a player who decides games. All the big teams in Brazil asked me, Premier League teams like Everton want him."

Soteldo has conceded that he is a Manchester United fan, but the Toffees are seemingly leading the chase for the South American talent.
