Reinier Jesus shines against Avai

Having been linked with the teenager over the summer and said at one stage to be on the verge of signing him from Flamengo for €40m, Everton put the deal on ice in order to see how he fares in the Brazilian club's first team.

Regarded as potential seleçà£o superstar in the making, with comparisons being made to Brazil great Kaka, Reinier is only now being tested at senior level. Out of contract next year, he isn't able to make a move abroad until he turns 18, making January the earliest opportunity for the Blues to sign him.

Everton could be using the interim period to fully assess him but, with Arsenal " target="_blank">said to be interested along with Real Madrid, there is obviously a risk of competition entering the running.
