Ronald Koeman has agreed terms with Everton to take over as manager for the 2016/17 Premier League season, according to the Daily Mail.
Everton must now agree a compensation packet with Southampton before they can announce the appointment of the Dutchman, something which the Daily Mail claim will likely happen this weekend.
Talks initially stalled last month when Koeman originally denied speculation insisting he was happy on the South Coast, but with the promise of a significantly higher annual wage and the promise from Farhad Moshiri on investment into the club, Koeman succumbed to temptation.
According to the report, Koeman is keen to complete the deal this weekend due to jetting off on his second summer holiday in the week. Everton must first agree a compensation package with Southampton, though to be worth £3.5m.
Ronald will replace Roberto Martinez who was sacked after another poor campaign which saw the club finish 11th in one of the most open Premier League seasons in recent history.
The club will now be looking for their new man to take them closer to the top four than ever before, with the promise of over £100million to be made available for transfers.
