Everton are finalising the £22million transfer of Andre Gomes from Barcelona.
The 25-year old is expected to sign this week after talks on Monday between the clubs.
The Portugal international enjoyed a successful year on loan at Goodison Park last season.
Gomes made 29 appearances for Everton last season, 27 of which came in the Premier League.
After joining Barcelona in 2016, Gomes went on to play 78 games for the club and won the La Liga title and two Copa del Reys.
However, towards the end of the 2017-18 campaign the midfielder found it increasingly difficult to gain a place in the Barcelona starting lineup.
