Dominic Calvert-Lewin has reportedly agreed a new five-year deal with Everton.
Everton are impressed with the progress the 20-year-old has made in his first Premier League season, and according to Sky Sports, the club have agreed to a long-term deal with the youngster.
The Daily Mirror further adds that the young forward is expected to put pen to paper within the next 24 hours.
Calvert-Lewis, who joined Everton last August from Sheffield United, made his debut for the Merseyside club in the 2-1 win over Arsenal in December.

He has developed gradually under the tutelage of Ronald Koeman, and is now a trusted first team squad player.
The young forward has made nine further appearances for Everton, and bagged his first goal for the club in the 4-0 win over Hull City in March.
A versatile player who mainly has been used in wide left, Calvert-Lewin is an out an out centre-forward and that is where the club want him to play eventually.
He has scored four goals in nine games for the England U-20’s and is likely to be promoted to the Under 21’s for the summer Euro championships in Poland.
Everton have shown great desire of handling young players long term contracts at the club, with Tom Davies recently putting pen to paper as well.
It remains to be seen whether senior players like Romelu Lukaku or Ross Barkley commit their future as well.
