Everton are set to sign Manchester United’s Morgan Schneiderlin and Standard Liege’s Ishak Belfodil.

Everton are set to complete a double transfer deal as Morgan Schneiderlin and Ishak Belfodil close in on moves.

SkySports report that Manchester United midfielder Schneiderlin has passed his medical ahead of a £22 million move.

The Frenchman had not started a league game for United this season, and the Red Devils are netting a substantial fee for his services. An announcement could even be made as soon as today (Thursday 12/1).

The Times report that Everton expect to wrap up the signing of Standard Liege striker Ishak Belfodil, after agreeing a £10.3 million fee.

Belfodil is ready to travel to Merseyside after pulling out of his club’s mid-season friendly, not wanting to jeopardise a move.

Everton had a £8.5 million bid for the 24-year-old rejected last week but the Belgian side have accepted their latest offer.

The Algerian will be the second striker Everton have signed this transfer window, having snapped up promising talent Ademola Lookman from Charlton Athletic.

Everton’s proactive moves are a signal that investor Farhad Mohsiri is working hard to help the club step up a level and close the gap on the Premier League top six.
