Everton close to announcing another signing after medical passed

Monaco right-back Djibril Sidibé is reportedly edging closer to his transfer to Everton, which should be made official soon.

As reported by French journalist Rablat Cedric, the 27-year-old has now passed his medical ahead of his move to Goodison Park.

Everton are expected to sign the player on a loan deal, in an agreement which includes a buying option of €14m.

Rablat Cedric adds that the move should be made official tonight, so the announcement shouldn’t take much longer.

Sidibe’s move to Everton had been taken as certain by the French press earlier today. This morning we’ve covered claims saying his medical with the Toffees was ‘the last hurdle’ to be cleared before the transfer.

The player suffered a damaged meniscus in April of last year and avoided surgery on it to make the World Cup squad with France.  So Everton probably needed to make sure everything was right before concluding the move.
