EVERTON are considering a fresh bid for Porto winger Yacine Brahimi.
The Toffees failed in an attempt to sign the Algeria international for £35million last summer.
But Goodison Park boss Sam Allardyce is understood to favour a new bid for Brahimi, 28, who has helped Porto top Portugal’s Primeira Liga.
They lead Benfica by two points with four games left to play.
Paris-born Brahimi is a product of PSG’s academy before going on to play for Rennes and Spanish side Granada before Porto paid £6m for him in 2014.
Roma, Sevilla and Besiktas are also said to be keen on the attacking midfielder, who won France Under-21 caps before switching allegiance to his parents’ birthplace in 2013.
