Everton target Luisao

Sky Sports News reports that Benfica have turned down a £10.5million bid for Luisao from Everton.

The Portuguese side want around £17.5million for the 27-year-old Brazilian international.

Everton have already a deal in place for Portsmouth defender Sylvain Distin in his attempt to bring in reinforcements for the cash they got from selling Joleon Lescott to Manchester City.
