12th August, news just in from Porto, as Bournemouth have made a stunning signing. The English club has secured the services of Brazilian forward Everton for a total fee of €47 million.

Porto officials have confirmed that the transfer fee for Everton is €37 million, with an additional €10 million in add-ons and a 10% sell-on clause. This deal surpasses Bournemouth's previous transfer record, which was set just days ago when they signed Solanke from Liverpool for a fee of €76 million.

Everton, 24, arrived at Porto in 2020 from Brazilian club Tombense for a fee of €8.8 million. Last season, he made 42 appearances for Porto, scoring 25 goals and providing 7 assists. His impressive performances caught the attention of the Brazilian national team, and he made his international debut in the recent Copa America, playing for just 3 minutes.

This signing is a statement of intent from Bournemouth, who are looking to strengthen their squad for the upcoming season. Everton's tremendous goal-scoring ability and versatility will undoubtedly be an asset to the team. It will be fascinating to see how he adapts to the demands of English football and whether he can replicate his Porto form in the Premier League.

All in all, this is a fantastic move for both parties involved. Porto will receive a substantial transfer fee, which will help them reinvest in their squad, while Everton has the opportunity to showcase his talent in one of the most competitive leagues in the world. The stage is set for an exciting chapter in Everton's career as he embarks on this new adventure in Bournemouth.
