Willian transfer: Everton in talks as Premier League move nears, offers revealed
Everton have opened talks to sign Willian on a free transfer, according to UOL.
The reliable Brazilian outlet reported via their website on 16 January that the attacker could return to the Premier League with the Toffees.
However, two unnamed Premier League clubs are also in the mix to sign the 36-year-old and are even prepared to make offers despite the Goodison Park outfit being the first to show interest in him.
David Moyes to benefit from Willian signing at Everton?
On paper, Willian is a 36-year-old veteran who recently terminated his contract with Olympiacos after making just 11 appearances.
However, the 70-time Brazil international could become such an underrated signing at Goodison Park if the Toffees go forward with their interest in him.
He was influential during his last stint in the Premier League with Fulham, bagging 10 goals and seven assists in 67 appearances across all competitions.

Everton, meanwhile, have struggled to create chances in Dwight McNeil’s absence in their last six league games.
So, there is no doubt that David Moyes will benefit from having someone like Willian in his ranks as he looks to steer the Blues away from the relegation zone in the second half of the season.
However, the Merseyside-based club need to act quickly if they want to acquire the former Chelsea man’s services as there are two other Premier League sides interested in him.
