Everton have jumped into the battle for Vasco da Gama attacker Andrey Santos.

The Brazilian youngster is expected to leave Vasco for Europe in January.

PSG and Newcastle United, where chief scout Steve Nickson has been active in the South American transfer market, are both in contact with Vasco for Santos.

And Le 10 Sport says Everton are also in talks for the 18 year-old.

For their part, Vasco accept they're likely to lose Santos over the New Year.
