Everton are close to signing the Queens Park Rangers man, according to Sky Sports.

Sky Sports have reported that Everton are closing in on the signing of Queens Park Rangers midfielder Josh Bowler.

Get West London claimed last month that QPR were preparing for life after the 18-year-old amid speculation linking him to Everton.

The Toffees have previously had two bids already knocked back – the first of which was £1.5 million up front and a further £1.5 million in add-ons – but Sky Sports believes that Ronald Koeman will finally get his man following a third offer.

The teenage talent has only been a professional footballer since February, having been released from Fulham four years ago.

It has already been a wonderful transfer window from Everton, who have signed Jordan Pickford and Davy Klaassen for a combined £54 million.

Goodison Park

The Goodison Park club are also expected to sign Spain Under-21 international Sandro Ramirez as The Mirror reports that his announcement will be made once La Roja’s Euro 2017 competition is complete.

At 18, Bowler is unlikely to compete for a first-team spot with the Merseyside club next term, but if Everton were prepared to pay £3 million for him then it shows that they certainly rate him very highly.
