Many Everton fans have been left to fume as a transfer update emerged on Matheus Nunes.

As per Record (via Sport Witness), although the Goodison Park faithful are currently in talks over signing the Sporting Lisbon ace, no deal will be done until they have a new manager.

They describe this as a 'setback' due to Tottenham Hotspur approaching Nuno Espirito Santo, who was the Merseyside club's first choice to replace Carlo Ancelotti.

Playing in 31 matches in the Liga NOS in the 2020/21 season, scoring three goals and making a further two assists (Transfermarkt), Nunes was a key figure in his team's recent title triumph, and would certainly add another quality option in the centre of midfield.

However, it looks as if the Toffees will have to wait longer before they can make their move, which of course potentially opens the door for other sides to come in and sign him.
