Back Premier League: Everton set to sign Barcelona's Gerard Deulofeu

Everton are preparing to complete a £2.2 million deal for Barcelona winger Gerard Deulofeu, according to Sky Sports Guillem Balague, an expert in Spanish football. The player, aged 21, has already played for Everton during the 2013-2014 season when he was loaned out by Barcelona. He scored four goals in 11 matches for the Toffees.

Everton boss Roberto Martinez tried to secure a second loan deal for the youngster last summer but the Spaniard chose to spend the season on loan at Primera Liga club Sevilla instead. He had 28 appearances last season and scored three goals.

Now it seems that Everton are close to securing a long-term deal, with Barcelona having a buy-back option. Balague said: "Deulofeu is going to be transferred to Everton. €3m with an option of Barcelona to re-buy him later on for a price. He didn't want to go on loan." Deulofeu was raised at the famous Barcelona youth academy and has played for the Spanish national team at every level from Under 16 to Under 21. He has also made his senior international debut in 2014.

Everton are 3.25 at Bet365 to finish inside the Premier League top six next season.
