There are reports that Arsenal are on the verge of signing Brazil sensation Everton Soares who says he’s received a lucrative offer to leave Gremio this summer.

Everton has impressed many clubs across Europe with his performances for Gremio and in the recently concluded Copa America for the Brazilian national side.

The 23-year-old scored three times in the Copa America, scoring just as many times in the Brazilian league.

Fox sports in Brazil claim that Arsenal have sent doctors to Brazil to test the medical situation of the winger and they will arrive in Porto Alegre tomorrow to conduct the tests.

According to journalist Emanuele Guilanelli, the Premier League club have agreed with Gremio, claiming that the Gunners will pay £25m for the player – who is allegedly keen on a four-year deal.

The transfer could be completed within the next few days, as Everton revealed he may not be playing the Copa do Brasil quarter-final against Bahia on Wednesday (July 17).

Speaking after Gremio’s match against Vasco on Saturday (July 13), the player said: “I do not know. It’s an unknown.

“Really. I do not know what can happen. As time goes by, things are tapering.

“I have a proposal. I cannot talk to the club.

“I do not guarantee that I will play against Bahia on Wednesday, we will see.”
