Everton hope to complete the loan signing of Djibril Sidibe today.
The 27-year-old right-back will join for the season from AS Monaco and is booked in for a medical.
Sidibe will arrive at Goodison to provide competition and cover for Seamus Coleman after Jonjoe Kenny was allowed to leave on loan.
The French international and World Cup winner will become Everton's sixth signing of the summer following the arrivals of Jonas Lossl, Andre Gomes, Fabian Delph, Jean-Phillipe Gbamin and Moise Kean.
Everton had looked at other right-backs, including Southampton's Cedric Soares, but Sidibe has been picked will undergo his Blues medical and complete his switch later today.
The Blues still want a winger, a centre-half and are also interested in bolstering their midfield options before tomorrow's 5pm cut off point.
