Sources close to James Rodriguez are saying that his move to Everton has been finalised, the Telegraph report.

Everton have been tracking the Colombian midfielder in recent weeks, and seem to now have completed what looks like a hugely ambitious swoop for the Real Madrid man now.

Although Rodriguez is not in Merseyside, like some reports have suggested, it seems only a matter of time before he joins Everton.

The Telegraph cite sources close to the deal, who say that the transfer is now completed, although official confirmation has still not arrived.

Rodriguez will apparently sign a three-year deal at Everton, with the 29-year-old taking a large pay cut.

Rodriguez wants to play under Carlo Ancelotti again, and it seems that he will immediately be a key player at Everton upon his arrival.

Everton desperately lacked a creative influence in the final third last term, with Gylfi Sigurdsson failing to show any sort of form.

And Rodriguez should be a huge upgrade on Ancelotti’s current midfield options once he arrives.
