Everton close to signing Colombian international left back

According to sources in Argentina, Boca Juniors left back Frank Fabra is close to a move to Everton this Summer.

The Colombian international is apparently close to a deal, with his representative travelling to England last week to help further a deal that would exceed a €5 million fee.

Fabra is a highly rated player in Argentina and has made 18 appearances for his country. The wing back is also notable for scoring many important goals for both club and country.

The deal is seemingly close to being completed, with Emiliano Raddi of ESPN reporting that the deal is basically done.

This comes as Everton look to improve their defence, with many players ageing. Fabra could be seen as a replacement for Leighton Baines, who turned 33 last December and is not getting any younger.
