Fresh from being humbled by a brace from Switzerland international Xherdan Shaqiri on Monday at home, Everton are set to sign a Swiss of their own as it is understood the Toffees are lining up a move for Shani Tarashaj from Swiss club Grasshopper.
The 20-year-old Tarashaj is one of the most highly-rated young talents in Swiss football and Everton have offered the Swiss Under-21 international a four-and-a-half year deal to bring him to Goodison Park. The player’s advisers have been in Liverpool for the past few days to discuss terms and talks are at an advanced stage.
