Asmir Begovic looks set to become the first acquisition of Rafael Benitez's tenure as Everton close in on the Bournemouth keeper.
The 34-year-old has a year left in his existing agreement with the Cherries but the Blues have reportedly struck a deal and have secured him on a two-year contract.
Everton have been linked with Pierluigi Gollini in Italy and Sergio Romero, who is out of contract at Manchester United, but have turned to Begovic instead.
The Bosnian, who has had spells with Ipswich, Stoke and Chelsea and spent part of last year on loan at AC Milan, has been seen in Liverpool today where he underwent a successful medical.
