KYLE WALKER has agreed to join Everton on a one-year deal.
The England right-back has been locked in talks with Toffees chiefs since his return from his loan spell at AC Milan.
Everton and current club Manchester City will now thrash out whether it is a permanent deal or just a 12-month loan while he sees out the remainder of his Etihad contract.
Fulham also enquired about the 35-year-old but could not afford his package.
Walker has jetted out to New York for a whistlestop tour of the Big Apple before heading to Jamaica for a two-week holiday.
The 35-year-old won 17 major honours - including six Prem titles - during a glittering eight years at City.
And despite having a year left on his Etihad deal, he was axed from their Club World Cup squad and no longer features in Pep Guardiola's plans.
A source said: "Kyle has been a wonderful servant to the club.
"He has given everything and was key to the success.
"But after the disappointment of last season the club has to rebuild."
It will bring to an end a love affair with City which began following a £50million move from Spurs in 2017.
His trophy haul included six Premier League titles, two FA Cups, four League Cups and the Champions League.
But in January he told City he wanted to explore the option of playing abroad and weeks later signed a six-month loan deal with AC Milan.
The Serie A giants were given the option of extending it or making the move permanent but declined.
Milan finished a disappointing eighth last season and, like City, are planning a major summer rebuild.
Walker won his 96th England cap in the dismal 3-1 defeat to Senegal but is desperate to reach a century.
Three Lions boss Thomas Tuchel has made it clear his players must be playing regular, high-level football in order to be picked.
And Walker is confident Everton under David Moyes is the perfect place to do that.

Decent deal for Everton, Walker still looks fit and sharp for the EPL even at 35… and going to Everton he will have less pressure on him to deliver at 100%… 😂😂😂😂 He can ship in goals, get dribbled easily and still be applauded by the fans, after all they feel lucky to have a plate of his class and quality play for them..
exactly 💯,,we really need his type of quality in the squad, and i think he can be helping Miko when he's not available because he can also play as a left back, i think 🤔 😉
