Everton have reached an agreement with Lille for the transfer of Amadou Onana and the midfielder will soon undergo a medical with the Toffees, 90min understands.
Frank Lampard's side have upped their transfer market activity in recent weeks following a slow start to the summer, recently bringing in Dwight McNeil for £20m and Ruben Vinagre on loan to soften the exit of Richarlison.
Onana had been the subject of interest from West Ham, who had agreed a €40m deal with Lille for the Belgian midfielder.
However, Everton have stolen ahead and a medical is expected to take place on Saturday as the Merseyside club aim to get the deal done.
