Everton are interested in signing 24-year-old Corinthians striker Yuri Alberto, and they will face competition from Crystal Palace and West Ham United.
Yuri Alberto has 20 goal contributions this season, and he could prove to be an excellent acquisition for all three clubs. According to a report by TEAMtalk, Everton are considering a £30 million offer to sign the Corinthians striker.
It will be interesting to see if they can get the deal done. The Brazilian centre-forward has the qualities to develop into a reliable striker in the Premier League, and he could be an asset for Everton.
They will need to add more quality and depth to the attacking unit if they want to finish high up on the table. Similarly, Crystal Palace need a quality striker as well, and they have their sights set on Yuri Alberto.
Jean-Philippe Mateta has been linked with a move away from the club, and the Brazilian striker could be the ideal long-term replacement. Crystal Palace have recently won the FA Cup and the Community Shield. Alberto could be attracted to the idea of playing for them.
Finally, West Ham United are in desperate need of a striker as well. They have not been able to find a reliable striker in recent seasons. It will be interesting to see if the Hammers can solve that problem by signing the Brazilian.
Where will Alberto end up?
Yuri Alberto has the qualities to improve all three clubs, and he will be attracted to the idea of playing in the Premier League. The £30 million asking price is affordable for all three clubs, and it remains to be seen where the player ends up eventually.
Alberto might prefer to join a competitive team where he will be able to compete at a high level. Crystal Palace might be a more attractive destination for the player. Everton have also shown signs of improvement in recent months.
On the other hand, West Ham United are fighting for survival in the Premier League. They have an uncertain future in the top flight, and the 24-year-old Brazilian striker might be sceptical about joining them.
