Everton officials are believed to have travelled to Barcelona in the hopes of finalising a deal for left back Lucas Digne.
The defender's commitment to searching for increased game time has been well documented this summer, and Everton have long been at the front of the queue to acquire the Frenchman, previously rated at £22m.
It's understood that new Everton boss Marco Silva sees 25-year-old Digne as the successor to Leighton Baines as the Toffees long term left back.
According to SPORT, officials from Everton are believed to have travelled to Barcelona in the hopes of closing a deal for the defender.
