Everton have been keeping tabs on Wolves teenager Mateus Mane in recent months.
It was reported during the January transfer window that Everton were ready to battle Tottenham for Mateus Mane’s signature.
Everton pivoted their plans after Jack Grealish’s injury and focused on signing a winger instead, with Tyrique George joining from Chelsea.

But, they could reignite their interest in the 18-year-old wonderkid at the end of the season, especially with Wolves looking likely to suffer relegation.
Ahead of the summer window, the club’s stance on selling Mane has just been revealed.

Rob Edwards’ side can offer Mane regular first-team football, and that could prove to be a pivotal factor in his decision.
If Everton do launch a bid for 2007-born, they could turn his head, especially if they qualify for Europe.
However, Moyes will more than likely have to guarantee regular minutes, as there may be some scepticism based on his treatment of Tyler Dibling and Adam Aznou.
Dibling and Aznou were incredibly highly-rated upon signing for the Toffees, and yet they’ve hardly been given an opportunity.

Even George has struggled to get minutes since arriving from Chelsea on deadline day, as he’s started just one game.
