Bournemouth is interested in Porto forward Evanilson after securing a record-breaking £40.2 million agreement to sign the Brazilian.
The agreement comprises an upfront £31.7 million payment, with the option of an extra £8.5 million based on performance.
Arsenal’s Eddie Nketiah is also being considered by the Cherries, as sources confirm that Evanilson’s transfer has been accepted.
The 24-year-old is expected to arrive for a medical later today.

Bournemouth owner Bill Foley previously mentioned having contingency plans in place in case a club activated Dominic Solanke’s release clause, which Tottenham did last week in a deal potentially worth up to £65 million.
Evanilson, who was called up to the Brazil squad for the Copa America this summer and has earned two caps this year, joined Porto in 2020 and netted 17 goals last season in both the Portuguese league and the Champions League.
Bournemouth’s previous record signing was Jefferson Lerma, who was acquired for £25 million from Levante in 2018.
