Everton manager David Moyes has been on a personal scouting mission to check out Benfica ace Oscar Cardozo.
The Toffees boss used a rare free weekend to make the trip to Portugal.
After watching his club’s Europa League opponents Sporting Lisbon in action on Friday, he went to see Cardozo star for Benfica against Belenenses the following day.
And the Paraguayan striker, 26, did not disappoint – scoring the game’s only goal.
Spurs, Aston Villa and Blackburn have also checked him out – but Benfica have placed a £52million release clause in Cardozo’s contract, which runs until 2014.
Moyes is also keeping tabs on Nuremberg’s left-back Javier Pinola.
Stoke are another club keen on the Argentinian, 26, who is earning rave reviews in the Bundesliga.
