Everton are reportedly keeping a close eye on promising FC Porto defender Diogo Leite.
According to Portuguese news outlet Record, the Toffees were among those in attendance as Porto took on Tottenham Hotspur in a UEFA Youth League contest.
Leite has been catching the eye of many in Portugal as he continues to establish himself as one of Porto’s most promising young players.
Everton watched on as Leite netted in his side’s match against Spurs, which will have only further convinced them of the youngster’s clear talent and potential.
Although, it would seemingly require a sizable offer to persuade Porto to part company with one of their brightest prospects. Everton’s likely interest in Leite is also made difficult as a result of the 19-year-old penning a contract extension until 2021 in recent times.
Everton were not the only side to send scouts to observe the clash, either. Arsenal are stated by Record to have sent representatives to the UEFA Youth League encounter.
