Brazil £30million forward Everton Soares responds to Manchester United transfer speculation

Gremio star Everton Soares, who has been a target for Manchester United recently, refused to rule out a move to Old Trafford. The 22-year-old is regarded as one of the most promising young forwards in Brazil and has made a number of impressive performances this season, scoring 17 goals in 43 appearances. Reportedly, Manchester United scouts watched Everton’s progress in Brazil and a January transfer is very close. Asked about the speculation linking him with United, Everton told SporTV: ‘We all hear the rumours at some point, right? ‘I’m going through an exceptional phase, and we know how hard it is when clubs from England look at Brazilian players, for their quality. ‘Let’s see what happens at the end of the season, wait until it is over, and see what’s best both for me and Gremio.’
