Rafa Benitez arrives at Finch Farm ahead of becoming Everton manager

Rafa Benitez is at Finch Farm as he moves closer to being appointed as Everton's manager.

The Spaniard is hoping to be confirmed as the Blues' new boss today and, earlier this morning, he was driven to the club's training ground in Halewood.

Benitez has agreed a three-year-deal with Everton and the club are aiming to be in a position to formally announce his arrival later today.

The 61-year-old is keen to get started given many of the players return for pre-season training on Monday morning. He will become the club's fifth permanent managerial appointment in as many years.
