Brands denies contact over Lozano or Neres
Lozano was heavily linked with a move to Goodison Park before the World Cup last year but he ended up staying with PSV Endhoven.
A year older and with another season's experience under his belt in the Eredivisie, the Mexican star is likely to be the subject of plenty more speculation this summer, with Everton an obvious link due to Brands's prior role as sporting director at PSV.
Neres's name, meanwhile, has cropped up in connection with the Toffees as he is talked up in terms of a move from Ajax.
Reports have linked him with a switch to France or Spain but he is said to prefer the Premier League. Brands has denied having made any contact with either Lozano or the Brazilian wide man.
"That always happens during this period," the Dutchman said of the speculation. "Then I read Neres, then I read Lozano, you name it. But we have no contact with these players.
“The fact that you can spend money means that you have to be much more careful.”
