EVERTON SET FOR PEREIRA TALKS
Negotiations between Everton and Vitor Pereira over the vacant manager’s position at Goodison Park are expected to begin in the next 24 hours, Sky Sports News understands.
Pereira has been heavily linked with a move to the Premier League in recent months, with the Portuguese understood to have held talks with Chelsea in the summer before Frank Lampard’s appointment.
It is understood Chelsea were put off by Pereira’s contract in China with Shanghai SIPG, believed to be in the region of £30m a year.
In recent weeks, both Arsenal and Watford are also understood to have been in contact with Pereira over their vacant managers’ positions.
