Nathan Patterson agrees personal terms with Everton, official statement imminent – Fabrizio Romano
Everton have agreed personal terms with Rangers defender Nathan Patterson, according to Fabrizio Romano.
The Sky Sports journalist has reported that the right-back is now preparing to undergo his final medical tests at Goodison Park.
It is shared that the official announcement will come once the contract and paperwork are finally signed by all parties.
Writing on his personal Twitter account this morning, Romano shared the latest as the Toffees close in on yet another signing.
“Nathan Patterson now prepared to undergo his medical tests as new Everton player,” he wrote. “Personal terms fully agreed, just waiting for contract signing. Here we go confirmed.
“Rangers will receive £12m plus bonuses for Patterson. Paperworks now – then official statement.”
Coming today?
Should Patterson get in and out of his medical in the next few hours, the rest should be plain sailing for the Toffees.
With personal terms and a deal with Rangers agreed, the signatures on the paperwork should come quickly, and then the deal is done.
Along with the media obligations and introductions, it may take until tomorrow to get everything across the line.
Rafa Benitez looks to have got his man again though, with Patterson set to follow Vitaliy Mykolenko into the club only four days into the window.
Hopefully, a long-term deal has been agreed too with Patterson set to be flying down the right-hand side for many years to come, long after Seamus Coleman passes on the baton.
