Gremio striker Everton Soares has denied claims Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola is in contact.

It was reported Guardiola had called Everton about moving to England.

The Brazilian attacker said: "It's a dream, right? Every player dreams of playing at high level, playing in Europe, reaching the national team. And with me it's no different.

“I think that when you are in a good sequence like this, at a stage like I am living, you are observed, monitored by several clubs.

“My phone hasn't rung yet, but who knows if he'll call."

When a reporter jokingly asked if he wanted Guardiola's number, Everton responded: "I do, if you have it, I want it!"
