Everton are expected to complete a £10million deal for English youngster Ademola Lookman in January, according to BBC Sport.
The Charlton attacker had been expected to leave the League One side with clubs such as Liverpool, Manchester United among others circling but Everton were able to steal a march on the opposition.
It was expected that part of the deal would mean that Lookman would return on loan for the rest of the season, though it has been said that Ronald Koeman wants to bring him straight into the first team so that is likely to not be the case.
The Toffees are short on quality attacking options, with Yannick Bolasie injured, and players such as Kevin Mirallas, Gerard Deulofeu and Aaron Lennon blowing hot or cold this season.
Everton have also been linked with another attacker, this time in the form of Memphis Depay. Reports suggest the Toffees have launched a £40m bid for both the Dutchman and his Manchester United teammate Morgan Schneiderlin is Koeman looks to heavily bolster his underperforming squad.
