Everton to confirm defensive signing early next week

Everton have reportedly completed a deal to sign Lucas Digne from Barcelona, with the left-back due to be officially announced early next week.

Jason Burt of The Telegraph leads the speculation, with the journalist having tweeted that he has been told that Digne has signed for the Toffees.

Other accounts online further detail the specifics of the deal, claiming that a fee of £12.9million has been agreed, while Digne has told his teammates that he is signing for Everton.

These claims are cited as coming from Mundo Deportivo, although no one in British media has yet brought these details to light.

Everton have been on the hunt for a left-back for some time now, with Marco Silva deeming the position a priority position in the transfer market this summer.

The France international would join after two years with Barcelona, having joined from Paris Saint-Germain in 2016.
