Yacine Brahimi has been allowed to leave Algeria's training camp today to finalise a move from FC Porto to another club, with rumours that he has flown to Merseyside to hold talks with Everton. The French-born forward has been the subject of speculation linking him with the Blues in recent days, with a reported €30m offer on the table. He has also been strongly linked with Galatasaray but it's uncertain whether the Turkish club could match Everton's bid.
Only last month when they were being linked with a permanent move for Oumar Niasse, the Turkish club's coach, Jan Olde Riekerink, told reporters: “Let's not worry about players for next season, we can't afford our players this year."
A report by Rádio Renascença in Portugal confirms that the Algerian Football Federation granted Brahimi leave today but they don't speculate on whether his final destination will be England or Turkey.
The Guardian's Ed Aarons, however, reports that Everton and Porto are in negotiations over a fee but that nothing has been agreed yet.
Rumours on Twitter from France and closer to home suggested earlier today that the 26-year-old flew into the northwest today and is in Liverpool while O Jogo in Portugal also indicated initially that Brahimi might already in England as the two clubs hammer out a deal before withdrawing that claim in favour of a more circumspect view that Brahimi could still stay with Porto.

I hear good things about him but do we need another winger? I'd rather see a playmaker and a striker in by the end of the window.
