Everton Interested In This 24-Year-Old Brazilian Winger For A Late Move: Does Moyes Need Him?

Journalist Fabrizio Biasin has confirmed that three Premier League clubs have enquired about Inter Milan’s Brazilian winger, Luis Henrique. Bournemouth, Aston Villa, and Everton have all registered interest. However, the Cherries have put forward the most serious offer so far. The 24-year-old arrived at the San Siro last summer for a fee of €22.8m. Yet, his short time in Italy hasn’t really worked out.

Henrique has managed just one assist after 23 games across all competitions. The Brazilian hasn’t scored a single goal yet. This lack of an end product has made Inter management open to a sale. They will only let him go if they secure a replacement before the window closes. Biasin notes that while English clubs keep calling, Inter won’t green-light a move until they bring in a new face to sharpen their own attack.

Bournemouth’s persistence shows they are desperate to add some spark to their front line. Aston Villa and Everton are still in the mix, too. The situation leaves Luis Henrique stuck in limbo. He is waiting for Inter’s recruitment team to kickstart a transfer domino effect.

His agents know all about the interest from England. Even so, the player’s immediate future depends on Inter finding the right successor. Premier League money usually does the talking in January. Inter might eventually cave if a big offer arrives, whether they have a replacement lined up or not.

Do Everton need him?

Everton’s interest in Luis Henrique raises some red flags about their current squad-building. As of January 2026, the Toffees have a strange combination of wide players. Dwight McNeil is a regular on the wing and always puts in plenty of crosses. Meanwhile, the high-profile loan move for Jack Grealish has supposedly locked down the left side. However, his form has been hit and miss.

Iliman Ndiaye is a versatile option who can drift wide when he needs to. Youngsters like Tyler Dibling are also starting to push for a spot in the starting eleven. Adding Henrique might look like a risk David Moyes doesn’t need to take. The winger is clearly struggling for confidence in Serie A right now.

The team definitely need more pace and directness. Henrique has those traits, but he hasn’t been able to show them in Milan. Everton fans will likely be sceptical about this move. They still remember the club’s past mistakes when signing underperforming players from overseas. If the club go ahead with this, they are betting everything on the Brazilian finding the form that prompted Inter to buy him in the first place.

With the team scraping for points in the league, spending money on a struggling winger is a massive gamble. The recruitment team has to decide if Henrique’s physical talent is worth the risk, especially given his poor numbers lately. They need to be sure before they try to match Bournemouth’s firm interest.
