Everton have lined up Jean-Philippe Gbamin as Idrissa Gueye's replacement as the Senegal international prepares for a £28m move to Paris Saint-German.

That is the contention of reports in France which claim that Gueye's move to PSG is imminent, with a few agree with Everton and personal terms not expected to be an issue.

The Blues are hoping to push through a deal with Mainz for the defensive midfielder whom they value at €35m. Everton want to negotiate the price down.

Although talks between the two clubs haven't yet got underway, Gbamin's agent, Bernard Collignon, is quoted by Le Parisien as saying that his client would be keen on the move.

“He is excited about the possibility of joining Everton,” Collignon said. “Joining the Premier League at a team at the top of table would be a great opportunity for him and represent a great next step.”
