Everton gazump West Brom in Slimani tussle
The newspaper claims that the Blues have come in with a €20m offer for the 28-year-old Algerian who was linked heavily with a move to Goodison Park during the January transfer window before Roberto Martinez signed Oumar Niasse.
A Bola's claim differs from that made by Record in the same country, however, who reported that both Swansea City and Albion had submitted €20m bids which apparently fall short of the Lisbon club's €30m valuation.
Slimani has been attracting plenty of attention on the Continent with an impressive scoring record of a goal every two games both for Sporting and his country over the past three or four years.
