Tottenham are reportedly keeping close tabs on Gremio star and Arsenal-linked Everton Soares.
Sky Sports claim that the club’s chief scout Steve Hitchen was watching the player in action during their Copa Libertadores semi-final first-leg clash against Flamengo recently.
Arsenal were among the teams to be linked with moves to sign Everton over the summer, as he bids to become the latest South American star to transition into European football.

Soares is being heavily linked with a move to European football, but it remains to be seen if the Gunners will go back in for the player.
In Gabriel Martinelli, they already have an exciting young South American wide player who has shown his potential in the early stages of the season.
It can always be difficult for players coming over from Brazil to adapt to the demands of the Premier League, so any move to bring Everton in would be seen as a risk.
We’ve seen in years gone by, players like Oscar and Paulinho struggle after making moves straight into the Premier League.
You would imagine that Arsenal are still keeping tabs on his development, but there may just be more important areas in the squad that they need to strengthen next summer.
