EVERTON’S SECRET £100M RAID ON BRAZILIAN SUPERSTAR ‘THE DIAMOND’ – JANUARY PREMIER LEAGUE EARTHQUAKE IMMINENT!

Everton will be aiming for a push into the top half of the Premier League in the second half of the season, which means reinforcements are expected to arrive during the January transfer window.

The club is actively exploring options to strengthen its squad, particularly in the attacking areas, as manager David Moyes looks to provide more firepower and depth.

One of the standout names linked with a move to Goodison Park is Ivan Toney, who appears likely to return to England this winter.

However, Everton have cast their net wider, identifying several other targets to bolster their options ahead of the opening of the window.

Despite already investing heavily over the summer under the Friedkin Group’s ownership, the club seems ready to open the chequebook once again.

Among their latest pursuits is Palmeiras midfielder Allan.

The 21-year-old Brazilian starlet has caught the eye of Everton scouts, with Spanish outlet AS reporting that the club has already begun “probing” for information regarding his availability.

Allan has been a pivotal figure for Palmeiras this season, earning a reputation as one of the club’s newest emerging talents.

Palmeiras reportedly rejected two bids for Allan over the summer and have included a release clause in his contract of around £88 million to ward off European suitors.

Despite that, it seems likely that Premier League interest could sway the situation come January.

Fulham and West Ham are both understood to be tracking Allan, while clubs in Portugal have also expressed interest, setting up a potential competition for his signature.

Everton see Allan as an ideal solution to cover for Idrissa Gueye, who is expected to miss a significant portion of the season due to AFCON duties.

The midfielder has already featured in 48 matches across all competitions this year, with the Brazilian campaign running until early December.

Versatile in his roles, Allan can also play on the wing and has contributed eight goals or assists, playing a key part in Palmeiras’ position atop the domestic league and their run to the Copa Libertadores final.

On top of his club achievements, Allan is being monitored by the Brazil national team and could be in contention for a spot at next summer’s World Cup.

With the Brazilian season concluding just before the January window, Premier League clubs are well-positioned to secure his services, and Everton will hope they can emerge as the main beneficiaries of his availability.
