Everton have made an offer to sign Porto attacker Yacine Brahimi on a free transfer at the end of the season, according to Correio da Manha via Sports Witness.

What's the story, then?

Speculation surrounding Brahimi's future is not exactly new. After all, the experienced attacker is out of contract this summer, meaning clubs can effectively sign him for free, although likely on ridiculous wages.

Brahimi has scored 50 times and registered 40 assists in 199 appearances for Porto since arriving from Granada in 2014.

This season, the 29-year-old has nine goals and six assists in 33 appearances in all competitions, suggesting that he will be a huge loss to Porto if he departs.

It is looking increasingly likely that the Algerian will be on his way out, with a new challenge potentially on the cards.

According to Correio da Manha via Sports Witness, Everton have offered Brahimi a contract, but they will face competition from Wolverhampton Wanderers.

Would Brahimi be a good signing?

In short, yes. On a free, the deal would be an absolute no-brainer for the club.

Everton would have to commit to fairly sizeable wages, but there is no question that the Toffees should be looking to bring the attacker to Goodison Park.

Brahimi landed the Portuguese title with Porto last season, whilst he has also sampled life in Ligue 1 and La Liga, which are experiences that will stand him in good stead if he does move to the Premier League.

A clever footballer with a good turn of pace, Brahimi has the tools required to be a success in England and would surely relish the chance to join a club who have ambitions of pushing up the table next season.

That said, Wolves will be strong competition as last season's Championship winners continue to go from strength to strength.
