Everton are reportedly preparing an ambitious bid for
Sporting Lisbon midfielder Joao Moutinho.
The highly-rated 21-year-old is currently representing Portugal
at the Euro 2008 in Austria and Switzerland. But his club future
remains a hot topic as he has been linked with Manchester United
and Arsenal.
The Sun claims that the Toffees are planning to pip United and
the Gunners to the £16m-rated all-round midfielder, who is renowned
for his accurate passing ability.
