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.

This is smart move for Everton. They can't find better player for that kind of money. Now every player who knows a little worth a lot. And for Delofeu it is great because I am sure that in Barcelona he couldn't be on bench and not to mention playing. Great job for Everton, I think that Deulofeu could help them a lot next...

I a unsure about Deulofeu.He is very talented but I dont think he fullfiled expectations last season.He had some fabulous moments but was not constantly in form.He can become top plazer,there is no doubt about htat,but I think it would be smarter for him to get back to Primera.Spanish league would be much better for him.

This is great transfer for Everton and their manager Roberto Martinez. Gerard Deulofeu is fantastic young player and he might be one of the key player next season for Everton. Also, he is still young and I expect that he can prove his quality. This transfer might bring Everton great games and after that great money.

Roberto Martinez is doing good job at Everton.He never buys expensive players ,but he also does not make any big mistakes.He will have Lukaku and Deulofeu next season in the team ,they are one of the most talented offensive players in Europe.If they continue to develope,Everton could be very dangerous next season.

Deloufeu is good player, but he is not good enough for Barcelona and that is a true. On his position he has a lot of quality players such as Neymar and Pedro and its obvious why he can't get his minutes on Camp Nou. I am really hoping that in Everton he will find his luck, because he can make a decent career.

Yes, the deal is fantastic for Everton, especially after he will cost to the club only 2.2 mil. Pounds, and for such a young and quality player it's nothing really. Gerard Deulofeu is brilliant technically but what I donn't like about him is that most of the times seems to play like he is the only man on the field and he...
Yes, the deal is fantastic for Everton, especially after he will cost to the club only 2.2 mil. Pounds, and for such a young and quality player it's nothing really. Gerard Deulofeu is brilliant technically but what I donn't like about him is that most of the times seems to play like he is the only man on the field and he just doesn't pass the ball to his teammates including in situations that could easily turn into goals. But he is so young still and with the right instructions from the Everton coaches Deulofeu could improve his game.

Gerard Deulofeu is very good and talented player according to me. I really believe that it will be great for both sides, Everton and Deulofeu if this transfer will be done. He won't have many chances to play at Barcelona and on the other side Everton needs young and talentet player like he is. It will be interesting summer...
