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

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.
