Everton agree deal to sign Rennes defender Ramy Bensebaini

Everton are close to signing the Rennes defender Ramy Bensebaini this summer.

As per Daily Star, the Algerian international will join the Toffees in a £13.3m deal. French outlets are now reporting the news as well.

Marco Silva is looking to improve his ageing defence and the Algerian should prove to be a quality addition. Also, Funes Mori’s departure has left the Toffees with just three starters for the centre back position.

Bensebaini can operate as a centre back, a full back as well as a defensive midfielder. His versatility will be a major bonus for Everton during injuries and rotation.
