Rafa Benitez is reportedly keeping a 'close eye' on Gabriel Barbosa ahead of a potential move to Everton in the summer transfer window.
The Lowdown: Barbosa catching the eye
Barbosa is only 24 years of age but already has 116 senior goals to his name combined for both club and country, having broke into the Brazil national side (Transfermarkt).
Brazilian legend Adriano has recently been singing his praises, dubbing him as a 'decisive' striker, which will surely interest the Goodison Park faithful.
The Latest: Benitez interested
As per football journalist and transfer expert Ekrem Konur, Benitez is keeping a 'close eye' on Barbosa ahead of a potential move.
The Spaniard clearly wants more competition up top for Dominic Calvert-Lewin, and feels as if 'Gabigol' would fit the bill.
The Verdict: Sign
The Merseyside club certainly need a player who can ease the goal-scoring burden off of Calvert-Lewin, and Barbosa has proven throughout his career so far that he knows where the back of the net is.
A potentially mouth-watering link-up with Brazilian teammate Richarlison could well be on the cards too, as he could really help bring some real South American flair to the Toffees, considering that they also have the likes of James Rodriguez, Allan and Yerry Mina already on their books.
Nonetheless, the Flamengo star would certainly be an exciting new addition for the Blues, providing that they can get a deal over the line.
