Everton
have started taking interest in former AC Milan forward Alexandre Pato after the
departure of striker Samuel Eto'o to Sampdoria, according to the Guardian.
The
reports in Italy claim that Everton are keen to land the Brazilian
attacker who can fill the spot left by former Barcelona striker Eto’o.
Eto’o
joined Everton from Chelsea on a free transfer five months ago, and left them due to the lack of playing time few days ago .
While
QPR boss Harry Redknapp was also in the queue for Pato but his offer was rejected by the
Brazilian side.
Everton
have already contacted the 25-year-old attacker’s agent for the possible move
in the next few days.
The
transfer window is also nearing its end and this move would be a great one for
the struggling Premier League side.
Pato
was tipped to be the next biggest star when he was young, however he failed to succeed.
Premier
League side Hull City also offered him in the past but his wage demand are
high around £60,000-a-week which could be easy for Everrton.
