Everton are ready to push forward in their efforts to sign Andre Carrillo from SL Benfica, according to Portuguese news outlet Record.
The Peruvian international was impressive in his side’s World Cup campaign and it seems as though Marco Silva is keen to recruit him ahead of his first season at Goodison Park.
Carrillo, who plays primarily on the right wing, was a talismanic figure for Peru despite their exit at the group stages of the World Cup this summer, and it seems his displays have piqued the interests of potential suitors.
The article from Record indicates that Everton are growing insistent that they land Carrillo from Benfica this summer, with the Toffees currently yet to make a single summer signing.
Silva, who replaced Sam Allardyce as the club’s new manager this summer, worked with Carrillo during his spells at both Sporting CP and Watford, and it seems he’d like to manage him for a third time on Merseyside.
