Agreement reached: Everton see off competition from PL duo to secure €24-25m transfer

Everton have reached an agreement to sign Lyon’s 23-year-old Republic of Ireland defender Jake O’Brien for around €24-25million, sources have confirmed to CaughtOffside.

The 23-year-old is expected to undergo a medical with Everton today before signing a four-year contract with the Toffees.

Should Everton part ways with O’Brien in the future, Lyon would receive 10 % of the transfer fee.

Everton eventually fended off competition from Wolverhampton and Brentford to secure the services of O’Brien.
