Everton seeks for a promising young player from.
Journalist Alexandre Praetzel tweeted recently that Everton had made a $8 million offer for Corinthians winger Wesley. According to reports, the Toffees have started negotiations to bring the Brazilian wide man to Merseyside.
The 18-year-old has already distinguished himself at the Brazilian club as a first-team player and has put up a few standout performances in the final third. In 30 senior games across several competitions with his current employers, Wesley has so far registered two goals and one assist.
Off the bench, the Brazilian prodigy has attracted attention because he averages 2.1 dribbles, 0.5 critical passes, and 0.8 shoots per game in the Brasileirao. Based on his 78.3% pass completion rate in the top division of Brazil, he has even distributed the ball well in the opponent’s half.
His current contract at the Brazilian club will run out in the summer of 2027. Hence, the Toffees might struggle to convince Corinthians to part ways with their prized asset next year.
Wesley, who is only 18 years old, has the potential to develop into a future star at the top level if he keeps improving as a footballer each year. If Sean Dyche can quickly complete a deal for him, he would be a fantastic long-term addition for Everton. There are some concerns, nevertheless, regarding the young player’s ability to adapt easily to life in English sport.
Wesley is still talented enough to contribute to the team of the Merseyside club. He would ultimately be a terrific fit for the Toffees’ requirements.
