The Toffees signed Ilian Ndiaye and Tim Iroegbunam earlier on in the transfer window before landing Jesper Lindstrom on an initial loan deal from Napoli this week.
The player in question is Lyon defender Jake O’Brien and, according to Footmercato, Everton have reached full agreement over a €18million (£15million) deal.
O’Brien, who has been a ‘real revelation’ for Lyon since joining in a €1million (£845,000) deal from Crystal Palace, is reportedly set to call time on his stint in France after just one year.
The report claims that the Toffees have ‘accelerated’ their efforts for the ‘phenomenal’ 23-year-old in the last few hours and his departure from Lyon is now ‘only a matter of time’.
