I’ve watched him in 7-8 games for Brazil. He can be very good and he can be very bad. He likes to recieve the ball in his feet out wide similar to Martial, and he has a lot of pace, agility and technique to dribble past his opponents. When he’s in form he’s someone that makes the fans excited every time he recieves the ball. His shooting is quite good as well, though it’s inconsistent. However, he has been poor more often than not when I’ve watched him. For instance against Paraguay in the Copa America recently he was terrible. He couldn’t get past his opponents and usually lost the ball. His shooting was also off. He’s quite often like that.
All in all he’s similar to Martial in many areas, he’s not really better and I don’t see more talent in him than Martial so I don’t think he’d improve us. He doesn’t have the strength and extreme close control that Martial has, but he’s more agile and closer to Neymar in his dribbling, but not as good and not as skilled as Neymar. He’d just add to our LW issues unless he somehow got to another level but there’s not really anything to indicate that he’ll do that any time soon so I’d stay clear.
I’d rather play Martial, Rashford and actually even Sanchez on the left wing than Everton right now. I haven’t watched James, but we already have the mentioned four plus Lingard who can play LW so it’d be braindead to sign Everton as he wouldn’t improve us and he’s playing in a position we already have too many players in.
