Everton are said to be so confident of pulling off a summer move for Philippe Coutinho that a process of house hunting has already begun.
The Brazilian is finally set to call time on his Barcelona nightmare this summer, and the Toffees have emerged as shock contenders for his signature.
However, a source close to Coutinho's camp has today told Sportsmail that a move to Everton is currently 'unlikely' - although that could change ahead of the summer transfer window.
Coutinho will be placed on the market as cash-strapped Barca desperately try to balance the books and look to reinvest funds into the squad.
