Talk of a back-up keeper to replace Robles

Some sources suggest that Everton are on the verge of a deal for Vitesse Arnhem goalkeeper Eloy Room.

They claim that Ronald Koeman will make Room his side's seventh senior signing of the summer as a direct replacement for the Blues' outgoing keeper, Joel Robles.

The Curaçao international has three years remaining on his current deal with Arnhem but reports in Holland claim that a move to Goodison Park is imminent.

Room made 33 appearances for the Eredivisie outfit last season as they went on to lift a first piece of major silveware in their history with the KNVB Cup.

According to Dutch website Soccer News, the 28-year-old will link up with international team mate Cuco Martina on Merseyside for a fee of just £1.35 million.
