Tottenham are tracking Gremio forward Everton (Sky Sports)

Tottenham are tracking the Brazil and Gremio forward Everton Soares, Sky Sports News understands.

Spurs' chief scout Steve Hitchen recently cast an eye over the 23-year-old during Gremio's Copa Libertadores semi-final first-leg against Flamengo.

And Everton who was of interest to clubs including Arsenal in the summer, created his side's goal in an impressive display, as a 1-1 draw set up an enticing second leg this Thursday.

Everton, who predominantly plays off the left but can operate on the right or as a second striker, was the star for Brazil at their Copa America triumph in the summer, scoring three goals to win the tournament's golden boot.
