West Ham and Everton keen on Yacine Brahimi

West Ham and Everton are reportedly interested in Porto winger Yacine Brahimi, according to A Bola (h/t Sport Witness).

Brahimi, along with striker Vincent Aboubakar, are both waiting on offers to leave Porto this summer and are eager to continue their careers in European football.

The Hammers have already signed fellow countryman Sofiane Feghouli, which would make a move to East London an attractive prospect for the 26-year-old. Brahimi can play on the left wing in addition to playing as an attacking midfielder down the middle.

In the Portuguese top tier, Brahimi has found the back of the net on 14 occasions in 61 appearances for the Liga NOS side and helped them to a Champions League quarter-final in the 2014/15 campaign. 2014 also saw him being named as the BBC’s African Player of the Year.

Porto are looking for €30m to sell Brahimi this summer who has also been linked with Liverpool and Chelsea.

He has seven goals in 28 appearances for his country and would certainly bolster Slaven Bilic’s frontline, particularly with the Irons competing on four fronts this campaign especially with the departures of Enner Valencia and Diafra Sakho seemingly imminent.
