Porto midfielder Yacine Brahimi is interesting Everton.

The Mirror says they sent a scout to watch the 28-year-old Algeria international in action during his club's 3-1 victory over Nacional on Monday night.

And Brahimi enhanced his reputation by scoring twice as Porto moved six points clear at the top of the Portuguese League.

Brahimi is set to be out of contract at the end of the season, so could be available at a knock-down price.

Born in Paris, the attacking midfielder started his career with Rennes in France before moving to Spanish club Granada in 2013 following a loan spell there the previous season.
