Everton and Leicester City are monitoring the Brazilian midfielder

Everton and Leicester City are monitoring a Brazilian midfielder who is expected to be on the move this summer.

Sean Dyche’s Toffees and Steve Cooper’s Foxes are doing business in Italy this summer, with Everton set to sign Jesper Lindstrom from Napoli and Leicester having already signed Caleb Okoli from Atalanta.

They could do more business in Serie A yet, as both clubs are admirers of Juventus’ Brazilian midfielder Arthur Melo.

Arthur is a player Juventus are working to move on this summer after being loaned to Fiorentina last term.

Everton have been linked with Arthur but have yet to make a move, according to the Italian daily Tuttosportalongside Leicester, monitor the situation of the Brazilian.

Newly promoted Serie A side Como have tested the waters for Arthur, but his high salary is a problem.

Arthur takes home 4.5 million euros plus bonuses per year at Juventus.

The Brazilian midfielder is suggested to want another game in the Premier League after an injury-hit loan spell at Liverpool in 2022/23.

It remains to be seen when and if Everton or Leicester will step up their interest in giving Arthur what he wants.
