A pacy winger, Brahimi's pace and trickery have drawn in plaudits from across the continent and he has been widely-tipped to make a move this summer.

Brahimi has one year left on his contract at Estadio do Dragao and A Bola's report claims that there is a release clause in his contract - although no fee is specified.

Everton and newly-promoted Wolves are also said to be keen on the Algerian, while Roma have also expressed an interest.
