Everton on verge of signing as footage thought to be Folarin Balogun private jet landing

Everton appear to be closing in on the signing of Folarin Balogun.

The Toffees have agreed a £38.5million deal plus add-ons for the USMNT striker, who is due to join the club from Monaco.

Balogun emerged as a top target for David Moyes' side with just days left in the window, and the Blues are looking to wrap up a deal on deadline day.

Uncertainty remains over whether the club will still sign Richarlison for Tottenham, who has yet to agree personal terms over a return to Merseyside.

However, Everton appear to be closing in on Balgoun, and he may have just arrived in Liverpool.

Folarin Balgoun may have just landed in Liverpool ahead of Everton move

Liverpool John Lennon Airport have posted a potentially telling video on their Instagram account.

The video shows a private jet land from the Cote d’Azur to the Mersey Riviera, which is said to be the first of two arrivals from Nice on Tuesday.

As highlighted by the Mirror, Balgoun could "feasibly" be flying from Nice to complete his Everton medical.

It's said that the Toffees are advancing on a move for the Arsenal man, while they may also bring another player in from Ligue 1, with Ainsley Maitland-Niles also ready to join.

Could the other plan be for Ainsley Maitland-Niles?

Everton have agreed a deal with Lyon for Maitland-Niles, and it is said to be worth in excess of £3m.

However, it's said that flying from Nice may not be as easy for the right-back as it is for Balogun, with another airport potentially being used instead.

But the Blues are expected to make complete the signing of the 29-year-old, with uncertainty remaining over a move for Fulham's Kenny Tete.
