Everton have reportedly agreed to sign QPR’s Josh Bowler.
According to Get West London, Everton have agreed a deal for Queens Park Rangers youngster Josh Bowler, with the value potentially reaching £4million.
The Toffees may have snapped up key first-team players such as Jordan Pickford, Michael Keane, Davy Klaassen and Sandro Ramirez, but there has also been a focus on players for the future.

Dutch defender Nathangelo Markelo and French attacker Boris Mathis have both arrived to boost Everton’s Under-23 ranks, and a similar deal – although much more expensive – could be on the cards.
Get West London report that QPR have accepted a bid from Everton for teenage midfielder Josh Bowler, with the Toffees initially paying £1.5million to sign the youngster.
However, in add-ons and other clauses, Everton could end up paying £4million for the 18-year-old, who made his QPR debut on the final day of the Championship season back in May.
A former Fulham youngster, Bowler has been on the QPR books since 2013, and he has shown real potential during his time at Loftus Road.

The winger signed a professional deal back in February, but Everton have finally agreed a deal to sign him after QPR had previously rejected their moves to sign their young wide man.
Everton will now be hoping to see Bowler develop and improve over the coming years, and with Bowler joining the likes of Jonjoe Kenny, Tom Davies, Dominic Calvert-Lewin and Ademola Lookman, the Toffees have a strong crop of young English talent.
