Of late, the Brazilian forward Jonathan Cafu has been linked with a number of Premier League clubs including the likes of West Ham United and Everton. The Merseyside team currently looks to be favourite to secure the services of the youngster for the next season. Current Premier League champions Leicester City and recently promoted Brighton and Hove Albion look to be interested in Cafu as well.
Reportedly, the mercurial Brazilian, who currently plays for the Bulgarian club Ludogorets Razgrad, has a release clause of £10.2 million on him. Given the form Cafu is in currently, this can be a real bargain for Everton, who might lose their main striker Romelu Lukaku to any of the big name European clubs after this season.
The 25 year old Brazilian has been a consistent performer for the Bulgarian club, instrumental in his finishing and going forward to launch attacks on the opponent team goal. He has been one of the reasons behind a fairly good Champions League season for Ludogorets.
As per sources, with Lukaku looking to make a probable exit next season, Ronald Koeman is desperately looking for a good option who can give his team stability up front. Cafu can be a solution good enough for the problem faced by the Dutch manager of Everton.
Jonathan Cafu has been a player who is known for changing clubs on a frequent basis. The Brazilian has till date played for seven clubs including Ludogorets. The Merseyside club might be his next destination if they pick him for their team in the next season.
Cafu is known for his composed style of play which gives him an upper hand over his opponents. His darting runs down the wing and through the middle of the pitch have proved to be dangerous against the opposition team quite a few times in the current season. His precision in passing to his teammates has been outstanding, along with his long balls finding the right man at the right place. In addition to the aforementioned features, the Brazilian can cause severe damage to the opposition by both his headed attempts and shots on goals.
Reportedly, Slaven Bilic, the current manager of West Ham United is also a very big fan of Cafu. He is looking to make it possible to bring the youngster to the London Stadium in the next season. The current season has been very much tumultuous in terms of performance for the Hammers, and they will definitely look to rectify it in the next season with the help of the Brazilian.
