Sporting CP defender Ruben Vinagre has broken his silence amid rumours linking him with a move to Everton.
The ECHO understands the Blues are interested in the former Wolves man and director of football Kevin Thelwell is known to be a fan of the player. Reports elsewhere in the media on Tuesday evening claim a deal is on the verge of completion and an agreement has been 'reached'.
Journalist Fabrizio Romano says the first part of Vinagre's medical has been completed as he's set to join on loan with an option to buy. Such reports have been followed by the player himself sharing a message on social media.
