Davies made his debut last season and has become a regular starter under Ronald Koeman in recent months. The Telegraph reports that he is expected to pen the new deal shortly after Saturday’s Merseyside derby.
The youngster is a product of Everton’s youth system and is highly thought of by the FA. He is the captain of the England Under-19 set up, and will lead the country in the European Championship finals in Georgia in July.
Everton fans will be happy to see a young player committing his long-term future to the club at a time when senior players like Romelu Lukaku and Ross Barkley are refusing to do so.
