Competition looks set to be mounting for Udinese defender Rodrigo Becao as Inter Milan and Tottenham Hotspur have reportedly joined Everton in the race for his signature.
The Blues failed to capture the 27-year-old in the summer, it has been claimed, but they are said to be still in the mix to sign him.
However, reports in Italy are suggesting that as the season enters the business end, interest is ramping up for the Brazilian centre-back. He has 18 months remaining on his deal with the Italian outfit, prompting interested suitors who lie in wait for developments on his future.
