Everton and West Ham are preparing summer bids for Jonathan Cafu.
According to a report in the Daily Mail the Ludogorets winger was watched in Thursday’s Europa Cup tie at home to Copenhagen.
Cafu was played as a striker against the Danes and failed to make any impact but that’s unlikely to put off his Premier League admirers.
Both Everton and West Ham are being forced to stretch their scouting network further and further to get at players before they come on to the radar of the top English clubs.
Cafu joined Ludogorets from Sao Paolo in a £1.9m deal in 2015 and is now rated in the £12m bracket by the Bulgarian side.
Ronald Koeman has been given the funds to transform Everton but struggled to bring in the calibre of player required to push the club forward.
Memphis Depay was a January target for Everton with Cafu viewed as a similar type of player.
