It comes after winger Yannick Bolasie could be heading in the opposite direction for a fee thought to be around £25m. 

Everton boss Ronald Koeman is looking to add new faces to his squad ahead of the upcoming season and hopes Bolasie will be available for the curtain raiser against Tottenham.

He could be the second signing for Koeman inside a week after securing the £12m signing of former Swansea captain Ashley Williams.
