Everton are interested in signing Brazilian Toon target Kleberson, it was announced yesterday. Kleberson revealed how they too are keen to bring the World Cup Winner back to "ING-ER-LAND".

Kleberson, who currently plays in midfield for Atletico Paranaense, has confirmed that Everton are keen to sign him in the summer.

The Brazilian World Cup winner is also a prime target for Newcastle United, but yesterday revealed: "Everton were interested in me but they cut short negotiations because of the price.

"I was pleased they were keen because they are getting better and better at the moment."

Newcastle remain favourites to sign Kleberson, with Atletico demanding £4.5 million for the midfielder.
