Davy Klaassen has moved a step closer to completing his £26million move to Everton by agreeing personal terms.
Klaassen has shaken hands on the terms of a long-term contact at Everton and is now expected to undergo a medical.
The Dutch playmaker’s signing could be completed in days and will only add to the uncertainty over Ross Barkley’s future at Goodison Park.
Blues boss Ronald Koeman is a huge fan of Klaassen and feels the Ajax skipper will add goals and creativity to the team’s midfield.

Klaassen, 24, scored 16 goals and made 10 assists last season as Ajax reached the Europa League Final and finished second in the Eredivisie.
Klaassen continues Everton’s busy summer, which will be their biggest yet in the transfer market.

They have agreed a £30million fee with Sunderland for Jordan Pickford and are favourites to land the £25million-rated Michael Keane.
Everton are also targeting Malaga striker Sandro Ramirez as Koeman attempts to build a side capable of challenging for the Champions League places.
