A number of Everton fans are speculating on how the Toffees could soon announce two more signings following Allan’s arrival at Goodison Park.

On Saturday morning, Everton confirmed that the 29-year-old midfielder had joined from Napoli for an undisclosed fee.

According to Sky Sports, the Toffees have paid €25m (£22.3m) plus an additional €3m (£2.7m) in incentives for Allan, who has penned a three-year contract.

The move sees the player, who has been capped nine times by Brazil, reunite with Carlo Ancelotti at Everton, having previously worked under the Italian for two seasons at Napoli.

Everton teased Allan’s arrival with a GIF of Richarlison, in front of a Brazil flag, tapping his temple, and the caption “Richarlison knows”.

The Toffees have also been heavily linked with Watford’s Abdoulaye Doucoure and Real Madrid’s James Rodriguez.

Given the compatriot angle in the Allan teaser, done by a fellow Brazilian, quite a few Everton fans are now hoping Lucas Digne can do the same for his fellow Frenchman, while Yerry Mina can announce his fellow Colombian.

Allan started his career at Vasco da Gama in his home country before moving to Italy with Udinese in 2012 and then switching to Napoli in 2015.

He was also part of the Brazil squad – alongside Richarlison – that won the Copa America in 2019.
