Matheus has just enjoyed a strong breakthrough season at Sporting Lisbon, making 39 appearances in all competitions and adding two goals from his role playing just in front of the defence.

Although he started just 12 games in the Portuguese top flight, he did help Sporting to their first league title in 19 years.

Everton hope to settle on a fee of £18m with Sporting.
