Everton are closing in on a double transfer swoop for Amadou Onana and Idrissa Gana Gueye ahead of the start of the new Premier League season.
The Merseyside club have agreed a fee with Onana's current side Lille, with the French team sanctioning the 20-year-old's move, according to Sky Sports.
The midfielder is now in Liverpool for a medical but it is unlikely he will be available to play Chelsea in their opening game of the new season on Saturday.
Onana would have had to have been registered by 12pm on Friday in order for him to feature but no news has come out of the Everton camp.
