Everton and West Ham United keen on Palmeiras star Allan | OneFootball

West Ham United and Everton are monitoring the progress of Palmeiras attacking midfielder Allan ahead of a potential swoop, according to Spanish outlet Diario AS.

However, the ‘outstanding‘ Brazilian’s contract has a release clause of €100 million as he has four years remaining on deal

The 21-year-old has bagged two goals and eight assists in 50 appearances for the Brazilian top-flight club.

West Ham headed into the international break on the back of consecutive Premier League victories, but manager Nuno Espirito Santo knows there is still plenty of work to be done.

The winter transfer window will give the Portuguese the opportunity to strengthen his squad, and signing Allan could come in handy.

The versatile Brazilian has averaged 80 precent pass accuracy, completed 60% successful dribbles and won 51% of his defensive duels this term.

While he is primarily an attacking midfielder, he also plays as a central midfielder and winger, and Toffees manager David Moyes could be keen to add such a player to his squad if a deal can be struck.

Fulham are also interested in signing Allan, and more suitors will emerge as the Brazilian Serie A season nears it completion in the next few weeks.

Allan could be open to finally leaving for Europe, but he will be desperate to leave on a high by helping Palmeiras win the league title and the Copa Libertadores final.
