Premier League club Everton are interested in acquiring the services of the 23-year-old Shakhtar Donetsk winger Tete.
According to a report by Football Transfers, Everton are keen on bolstering their squad ahead of next season and have their eyes set on the Brazilian winger Tete. The 23-year-old Shakhtar Donetsk forward is looking for a new club at this point in time.
Tete came through the ranks at Grêmio before joining Shakhtar Donetsk in the winter of 2019. After three years at the Ukrainian club, the 23-year-old has been out on loan over the last two seasons. He was on loan at Lyon from March 2022 to January 2023. During the one-year-long spell, he featured in a total of 30 matches and contributed towards 18 goals.
Post that he joined Leicester City in the winter of 2023 on a six-month-long loan. While his move to the Premier League club did not go according to plan, the 23-year-old has all the qualities to succeed at the top level and there is a lot of interest in his services.
His contract with Shakhtar Donetsk runs until the end of 2023 but he has no intentions of returning to the club amidst the ongoing war. As a result, the Brazilian youth international is expected to be on the move in the ongoing window.
Meanwhile, Everton are one of the clubs interested in his services. The Merseyside club are looking for attacking reinforcement ahead of next season. They somehow managed to evade relegation last time out and are keen on making sure that they put up a better fight in the 2023/24 season.
Their priority from the start has been to acquire the services of Italian international Wilfried Gnonto. Sean Dyche is keen on having the teenage sensation in his ranks. Meanwhile, Everton have been in talks with Leeds United for a while now.
However, both clubs have not managed to find a middle ground so far. While they are still in talks, Dyche’s team have started looking for alternatives and the 23-year-old Brazilian winger is one of the names on the list.
With the player ready to make a move in the ongoing window, it might not be that big a problem to land him at the club. And, they are seriously considering pushing for his services in the coming weeks.
