Everton closing in on season-long loan deal for Ruben Vinagre with the option to make the deal permanent... just weeks after the left-back joined Sporting Lisbon from Wolves

Everton are closing in on the signing of former Wolves left-back Ruben Vinagre.

The 23-year-old Sporting Lisbon defender was at Everton's Finch Farm on Tuesday for his medical ahead of agreeing a season-long loan with an option to make the deal permanent.

Vinagre only left Wolves permanently earlier this month after joining the Portuguese side who he spent last season on loan with.

During his time at the Molineux Stadium, Vinagre made 69 appearances and scored three goals.

However he was sent out on loan over the past two campaigns at Sporting last season, and both Olympiacos and Famalicao during the 2020-21 season.
