Everton have been making waves in the transfer market this summer, securing three new signings to bolster their squad.
After bringing in Ilian Ndiaye and Tim Iroegbunam earlier in the transfer window, Everton recently finalized a deal with Napoli to bring Jesper Lindstrom to Goodison Park on loan.
Now, reports suggest that Everton are on the verge of signing Lyon defender Jake O’Brien for a fee of €18million (£15million). O’Brien has impressed at Lyon since his move from Crystal Palace last year, quickly becoming a key player for the French side.
The 23-year-old, who was left out of Lyon’s recent friendly to finalize the deal, is expected to sign a five-year contract with Everton. Fabrizio Romano has confirmed the move, highlighting O’Brien’s potential as a bargain signing for the Toffees.
O’Brien’s physical presence and goal-scoring ability make him a promising addition to Everton’s defensive line. Despite his low initial price tag, O’Brien has proven himself in Ligue 1 and is ready for the challenges of the Premier League.
